Jane Brown contacted Club Office with a request for her Best Friend's 30th Birthday treat! Jane said "the car of her dreams is a MGBGTV8! It would be amazing if I could get her a ride in this car on this special occasion". The request was passed to the V8 Register and soon the surprise trip for Gemma Barnes was arranged for Friday 15th August. To ensure Jane could make it a surprise for her friend, Gemma's family arranged for her to be at home to meet up with her family and friends for lunch and then just before 1pm Jane announced she had a surprise for Gemma's birthday outside the family's front gate hidden by a hedge - there was the car of her dreams parked and gleaming in the sunshine. Gemma gasped with surprise as Jane explained she was going on a birthday drive in the V8 from Ashford Common in Middlesex down to the viewpoint at Newlands Corner up on the North Downs just east of Guildford. The burble of the engine and the surge of the V8 power kept Gemma on a high for 90 minutes!
