We were taking the TA for a weekend away, meeting Bill & Sally Silcock for the presentation of the Montague Burton Trophy which we were awarded for our exploits on the Numbum Round Britain trip.
We set off in high spirits but about 60 miles into the journey we suffered a rear suspension failure. The left rear spring mounting broke completely away and the wheel ended up right inside the rear wing. We were going nowhere. I called Sally and cancelled the trip and saved them a long journey for nothing.
We got Numbum recovered home.

Once Numbum was back in the garage, safe & sound we grabbed a bite to eat, loaded up the MG3, now called TYO (The Yellow One) and headed off for our planned night stop.
The plan was now to travel down to Bill & Sally's place for the presentation which we duly did the next morning. We had a great time meeting Bill & Sally and enjoyed some great chat, lovely coffee and super ginger cake. Thanks Sally! We then headed outside for the presentation in front of a row of MGs. Pity Numbum wasn't there but that's life. Photos to follow.
While we were in that neck of the woods we drove across to the delightful village of Woburn where we spent an hour or so before heading back home.
