Robust debate was always the intention Roger. I always appreciate different views and have been aware since the day I started that it was always going to be contentious. My greatest support was from the MG Car Club, right from day 1 and they are still the keenest of all groups to see the car completed.

As long as people don't throw beer cans at it or key it, I can live with any written or verbal criticism, but everytime I see under the bonnet or inside a so called genuine classic and see Kevlar air boxes, engine management systems, shift lights and yes, even gps video/data recorders, forgive my wry smile!
