    Kev, Hi,
    Slow reply.
    Auckland - was there a week or so ago for a few days, but not the right time for Smales Farm.
    Will be good to catch up again at a future one, or a similar Car Show.
    Waipu Show - looks like it was great.
    I did however run the MX5 and think I have blown a heater hose as hen it got hot there was steam all through the engine bay and it came into the car. Hoping it is not more serious but did not have the time to really look at it.
    Next time up will check it out - think the whole water / cooling system - radiator heater etc - needs to be drained and flushed and refilled. Never seem to have enough time when in the Big Smoke !!. Always lots of family things to do - the car gets a bit ignored.

    Good to read that Jayne drove the A95.

    From memory there were no Austins at the Pahioa Show, [just noticed an A35 in the photo - must have been the only one ] and only small Morris's including this one - a 1930 ish Morris Minor - likemy late Uncle had back in 1946/47 - his was a Tourer though.
