Just got back from a superb weekend in Holland, working for MG Enthusiast. Great weather, cracking cars and lovely, open, friendly people. The weekend comprised a photo shoot on the Saturday, and a trip to a British classic car show. The ferry was a doddle, I convinced Sarah to see the new Star Trek in the onboard cinema (she actually thought it was OK) and the seas were nice and calm.

If you’ve never been to Holland, I recommend it, everywhere I went was spotlessly clean, the people speak better English than most English people and it’s a beautiful country. Everything closes on Sundays-even the DJs aren’t on the radio on Sunday!

The Dutch attitude to British cars is really refreshing too, we Brits are all too quick to put the cars we produced down, it’s seems that while we lost our love for Rover Group and it’s products, becoming quick to ridicule whatever rolled out of Longbridge, the Dutch kept a special place in their heart for MG-R. Pity we didn’t.

Keep your eyes peeled in upcoming issues of MG E for the full story, I’m really chuffed with how the weekend went and can’t say thanks enough to the guys for looking after us!
