Hello doc! Hope you continue to enjoy the site - great to have you on board.

Weird thing the other day (haven't checked today)..I'm somewhere off the west coast of Scotland and the locator had me in Yorkshire!

Right now you seem to be up on the Yorkshire Dales, where Windy was appeared to be the other day.

and hello to our visitor from Beihai Park, northern Beijing!

That is exactly were MGPete from www.ZSCentral.com was going on holiday ... Hi Pete

Is MGPete Dutch? I knew a Dutch MG Pete...

Hi Windy, hi Chris
To be exact, I went to a small village called A-das-Lebres near Loures (which is a little north of Lisbon).
My son already is an MG enthousiast, but he's too small to drive an MG yet. He turned 9 during my visit
Off to a meeting now
Will be back later,
Cheers,
Pete

Hi.

Small world!

Well I'm sure in Mull..and like Windy says a wonderful place to be in this glorious weather..not so sure on the outlook for the rest of the week. It's odd on the locator front as I'm using the cottage oners BT home hub connection ..must be something funny with BT that reverts everything to Yorkshire.

we've had our visitor from Stuttgart, and Gambini from La Coruña, today...

I'm still stuck on a train out of Reading, meanwhile patpending is in central London and Windy has given up on the moors and is in the East End.

and welcome to our visitor from New Brighton...


...no, not Cheshire, Minneapolis/ St.Paul!

(Should I call you "your royal purpleness"?)

Given the success of Brawn GP, I am thinking about changing my name to Loic Bigone TBH.

Meanwhile - Signor di Torino! You love logging on here, please say hello to us!

Dare I say a big "Shout" out to our guest from Akureyri, Iceland, without getting a noisy Björk track in my ears?

(Otherwise, it's oh so quiet!)

Do they have MGs in Iceland?

I didn't think the roads were suitable!

I don't know if they have MGs there, but the roads in Reykjavik are certainly suitable:

Wonder if users from Cayenne show up in Paris?

Only if they're driving Porsche's.

Just for the record, I live in Daventry, which is a small town in the heart of England. So much so that it is the furthest away from the sea in the British Isles...
It is not - contrary to what you may have read - a combination of Coventry and Dagenham! Though it was the home of Connaught.

All this tracking of people will put them off. No wonder no one's saying hello!

they'll be pretty damp by the time they reach Paris!

what am I supposed to do? write the locations into a Princess Secret Diaries book and lock it up afterwards?

Does it put you off if I say "there's a user here from that place with the radio masts"?

Well I don't mind as I have nothing to hide ("big brother is watching you" - "good he might learn something then"), but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once wrote to five of his friends the message "quick, flee, they're onto us" just for a laugh. One of them promptly disappeared and he never heard from them again!

Parisian Cayenne is nothing to sneeze at.

Apparently Daventry used to have massive thunder and lightning storms. This all went away when all but a couple of masts were taken down. Maybe this is what they used in the Beijing Olympics?

Porsches and Beijing in the only thread that isn't about China or cars!

Today I note a visitor from Hong Kong and one from Santiago de Chile!

Windy wrote:There has not been much news from Chile - anyone know how sales are going?...

Noted on the thread.

Today I see a user from Pazin on the road to Pula in the Istrian peninsula of Croatia. Dobar dan!

A first today - a visitor from Kiev!

No streets showing inside the Kiev ring road (although the map has all the streets in Peking and St Petersburg...)

Is MGPete near Maxeira, Portugal, this evening?

Hello to Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria!

Now I would guess that Veliko Pivo would mean "Large Beer"...

Konnichi-wa to Nagano Prefecture, Japan...

Dobr Dan to Beograd - I think google thinks you are up a hill from the Dunav (Danube) but maybe you are somewhere else in Serbia...

and that's the first time I've seen an IP in Shanghai - can't be Tee in China because you are a guest...

welcome!

¡Hola! to the visitor from Elche in Spain!

Did you know that "Elche" means "Elk" (plural) in German?

A guest from Baghdad!

Salaam aleikum! (sp)
