Narrow Escapes
IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

Dodgy Alloys
Having helped a mate out who raced Maestros in the MG owners club, I can tell you we saw quite a few of our alloys go the same way. I don't know if it was a design fault or just that they were being used beyond their limits, but it happened quite a lot and it became difficult to find replacement originals. Overtorquing the nuts or smacking the wheels into kerbs also had the same effect!
