MGF & TF Engine Swaps – Mild or Wild on 10th May 2024
What can you do when the k-series motor powering your MGF, TF or Z-Car calls it a day. The Technical Evening will look at one of the options – or two, if the car is to be a track car. The ‘mild’ option will look at a non-turbo option while the ‘wild’ will consider the far more challenging task of using a turbo-charged option in the confined space of the MGF. The session will be presented by the Master of all things MGF – Mr Dick Manning.
While the session will be of particular interest to those in the Club that are currently dependent on a k-series motor, it should also be noted that, certainly overseas, increasing numbers of k-series motors are finding their way into MGBs and Midgets. So come along to the Clubrooms for 6:30pm and be amazed! Contact Haydn Reynold for more details.
The next run is the Very Late Summer/April Fools Run on Sunday 21st April 2024. Starting from the Gully Hotel, 1349 North East Road, Tea Tree Gully Arrive at 10.15am or earlier for a coffee. Report coming soon.

Report: The MGF & Modern MGs NQABE* Run on Sunday February 11th 2024
MGF & Modern MGs: Not Quite All British Enough (NQABE) Run 11/02/2024
(Words Haydn Reynolds, Pictures David McNabb – except the obvious one!)
The reasoning (excuse) behind the Run was to provide an alternate event for Member’s vehicles that could not attend the (at the time of writing) upcoming All British Day (ABD). While most of the cars that took part were, in fact, eligible to attend ABD, their participation was seen as solidarity with those that could not.
In establishing the course for the NQABE, attention was given to both the “British” and the “Not Quite” aspects. Now, the quintessential British Car Run, has to be the London to Brighton Rally. And it should be noted that it is to the seaside, not some nice sporting ground in the Cotswold Hills. To keep in character, the NQABE Run commenced in London Road (Mile End, so not quite London) and travelled 75km via Balhannah to Seacliff (so, not quite Brighton). Full Report
*(Not Quite All British Enough – to reflect that newer MGs can’t attend All British Day!!)

Run Report and Photos
The MGF/Modern MGs group is dedicated to those who own drive MGs of the ‘modern’ era (MGs after 1995).
Models includes the MG-Rover era models (F, TF, ZR, ZS, ZT) and modern (MG3, MG6, GS, HS, & ZS), and will be open to the forthcoming MG4 and MG-C models.
The “F” Register was formed by Tony Hick who was a long-time member of MGCC of SA. Tony bought a new MGF when they were released in 1997.
The Tony Hick Trophy was introduced in his memory to be presented each year for attendance to meetings and some selected events.
