and good cheer offered to fellow members. More

The MGLive!
V8 weekend got off to a good start with a lunch on FRiday
at the Pear Tree Inn at Hook Norton and later the V8 Supper
at Sulgrave near Silverstone. Many overseas V8 members
were at MGLive! including Steve Foldhazy from Australia,
Al Riches from Canada and John Targett from the USA, with
Marcus Ormanin from Germany and regulars Brigitte and
Walter Kallenberg driving over from Germany. Geoff King
was down from north east Scotland in his V8 Roadster.
As usual John Hoyle had a stand at the event with a useful
display and during Saturday afternoon he gave a talk on
his front and rear suspension modifications for the MGB,
MGBV8 and RV8 models. Angus Munro's RV8 was on display
with its recent Hoyle conversion with rear disc brakes
together with Geoff King's good looking MGB V8 Roadster
with an early Hoyle suspension upgrade. The informal V8BBQ
on Saturday vening was popular despite the thunder rumbling
in the distance with the threat of rain which fortunately
held off.
At the V8 AGM on the Sunday at MGLive! David Biddle, who
has arranged the V8 Curry Night, stepped down together
with the RV8 Historian John Bolt who is taking a 12 month
break. The new V8 Committee members elected at the V8
AGM are Jim Gibson (V8 Treasurer), Howard Gosling (currently
Club Vice Chairman), Julian Holmes (V8 Regalia), Ian Quarrington
(V8 Secretary), Bob Owen (V8 Technical), Victor Smith
(V8 Chairman and Registrar), Mike Taylor (V8 Events and
Tours coordinator), and Clive Wheatley (V8 Spares).
