Catteeclan Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 MG has "plants in China, Thailand, and India". I've learned something today. Best weather which wasn't any good was yesterday as it's raining more than yesterday now. Got to collect my tools up left laying around in the passage from Friday. F1 again at 1 then prob out for a walk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Just off to view the Chinky/Indian/Thai MG with my buddy. And tomorrow we have a visitor!!! Very unusual...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 It's absolutely pouring down. Picked my brother up from the airport yesterday night so my dog didn't wake ME up early today, so slept a little more. 08:30 tomorrow I'll be at the dealership with the GS, with this weather it'll be an interesting motorcycling day. I hate riding in the wet and am no good at it. Might take the chance to investigate on a better fitting set of rain over pants and jacket, mine is very practical but is 2 sizes too big so it does get tiring if facing a long motorway ride. I do trust in Saint Peter for nicer weather from wednesday onwards ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Got hme at 01h00 this morning and slept till 11. it's now pissing down outside and about 4 or 5 deg c. I'd planned to clear out the shed of all the clutter accumulated over the summer in order to get the bike back into it's winter quarters. It lives outside under a cover during the summer and under the shed/Shelter and cover over winter. I need the weather to be dry for thos so im sitting on me arse drinking coffee and typing this. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is looking at Kia,s or Hyundai,s now....... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
