Fanatic collector of octagonal automobiles! I've been playing with and using MGs for daily driving since 1984. Since retiring in 2006, I moved, first from SW Virginia to Harbor Beach Michigan, and in 2010 to Clyde, Michigan where I own and operate SPRING CREEK HOME FOR WAYWARD MGS - a nonprofit nonbusiness operated exclusively for the pleasure of its proprietor (me, of course!). About the picture... shown is our 1957 MG ZBV Magnette saloon. In 2003 we drove our first Magnette, "Nettie", from New Castle Virginia to Mount Hood, Oregon for the North American MGA Register's GT ("Get-Together" #28. The trip was outlandishly successful and Nettie did the 6000-mile round trip without any problems. In a moment of insanity, we have since sold Nettie, but there is still, and will always be, a Magnette in our MG stable. Her name is "Geraldine" and she can be seen here.

Our "Cover Picture" Car: #31962

Posted on: Sunday September 27, 2009

HOUSTON09776

Our cover picture (or signature picture) here on MG Experience is Nettie, our first running Magnette. It was taken at Mount Hood Oregon, where we had driven her from New Castle Virginia for NAMGAR GT28 in 2003. Regrettably, we sold Nettie a year later to a buyer in Florida. Another year later, he sold it on Ebay and the car disappeared off the planet until it showed up at a Leake Auction in Houston on September 19th-20th, 2009. She sold at auction for a mere $1100 - less than 20% of her selling...
