Sounds like you & me are very much alike. I can't explain the feeling I had the first time I turned up to "Q" Gate on my first factory tour, it was a very sureal feeling, most strange. I was invited to go there last weekend as they have just opened a new sales centre (The old Round Building) but I couldn't be bothered just not the same though I do think the MG6 is a very good car having driven it & the TSE has lots of kit!

(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather. |

Great question! ![]() Would you believe that I advertised it on all of the specialist website and not a single enquiry ![]() ![]() The dealer was due to sell it in the trade and had purchased it from me unseen. When they saw it, they simply left it at the front of the forecourt, put a "for sale" sticker on it and within two days it had gone. They didn't even have to service it, let alone clean it ![]() I came across it about 6 months later and spoke to the new owner. It hadn't been looked after and she had no idea what she had; as far as she was concerned it was just a "Blue MINI" ![]() Last edited by Tigger on 8th Oct 2011 10:29 am. Edited 1 time in total |

Tigger, My family originate from Golant. I spent many happy hours there. Now sadly millionaires row! Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

I know Golant very well. When Kathy and I got married, we did it for a very tight budget and held the wedding reception at the Youth Hostel at Golant ![]() ![]() I stayed there for the night before the wedding and walked down to the pub right at the very bottom of the hill overlooking the railway and the estuary. |

My first experience of the Fisherman's Arms was when I went there one night in the spring of 1985. I was staying with a friend at the YHA (lived in Hertfordshire at the time) and we went down to the pub with some Australians that we'd met there. As far as I remember, the Conservative Club was shut and they were meeting at the pub instead and I think I wound up speaking to the MP for a while...
