CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Well, Summer is here with a vengeance. The experts say that this one eclipses the 1976 heatwave, for those of us that remember it. Sometimes it can get too much and I find myself opting for the air conditioned modern motor instead just to escape the heat, but mostly it's a golden opportunity for top down motoring or a leisurely drive out in the classic. But be aware the hot weather also has down sides for your cherished motor. The inside of a parked car can get extremely hot. Dashboard tops fading and even cracking, leathers get dried out and even upholstery glues can melt so that headliners drop and panels come loose. Strong UV can fade paint and blister lacquer. Parking under tree cover can seem an attractive option but then you are at the mercy of bird poop and tree sap. Then you must not forget your own protection with sun screen. The cooling breeze in your hair can mask the strength of the sun, and there is nothing worse than a sunburned bald spot! For all the frustrations though I forgot one wouldn't be without it. Happy motoring. Andrew
SECRETARIES’ SLOT Hi All A magazine full of pictures and reports of recent events. Thanks to everyone who has submitted them and thanks to those who have attended recent club events. We had a bumper turn out for Bring Your MG to Club Night and many of you came to the Club Picnic at Barn Farm and enjoyed the hospitality of the Triggol family. Walton in Gordano Centenary Fete was also well attended on a day when the temperature was 30+. Using and showing our MGs is one of the things that the Club is all about so, with that in mind, we are still short of bookings for the Brunel Run on 5 September so, if you haven't yet booked, there's a booking form in the centre of this magazine again. We need more bookings to make the event worthwhile! Speaking of what the Club is all about, it's that time of year again when we have to think about who will be on the committee after the AGM in October. At the back of this magazine is a note about the AGM and a nomination form. If you don’t want to spoil your magazine by tearing it out then just take a photo of the completed form and send that to us instead. We look forward to receiving your nominations. Pauline and Hélène

A plea for the magazine: It takes all of two minutes to stop and take a picture; how many of you now own a digital camera? How many of you own a computer? It would be lovely to feature some members cars being used as they should each month. It is so simple to email them, just say who its from and where it was taken, if you wish to write more we will be more than pleased. Email to MAGAZINE PHOTOS - thankyou.
The magazine is financed by both your membership fees and our advertisers. If you, or anyone you know, wishes to advertise in Fast Forward then here are the rates - full page £15, half page £10, quarter page £5. There are 6 issues a year so the maximum cost is £90. Copies go to all members plus copies are handed out at Moss, Chris Leverett Classics and at any shows we attend.
Thank you to everyone who sends in reports for the magazine. Word documents are great for words (as the name suggests) but make a poor job of photos. So, please include your photos into the Word document by all means but also email photos in separately so that the best can be made of them. Thank you - Pauline
CHANGES AT MOSS BRISTOL: Moss Europe Ltd decided recently that to continue to support the classic car community the only way forward was to have all of its stock holding held in one location. This decision follows almost all of the classic car parts suppliers and it is a trend seen across many industries worldwide with the growth of mail order and internet sales in recent times. Appreciating this is not ideal for those dedicated customers and friends who normally collect goods but the actions were taken to keep the supply of parts for many years to come. All the sales staff within the Bristol branch are still here, still working hard and still able to advise and support those needing that personal service. The shop is now closed but we can be contacted on 01179 232523 as before. The website improves day by day for those wanting to shop online but please feel free to support our local team by calling up. The Bristol team will continue to enjoy classic MG’s and there will be no escape from seeing us in the future as we will continue to support the community by way of many classic car shows and events into 2025.
