A quick introduction for those who don't me, or are new to the F Register.
I'm Colin Murrell and I have recently been appointed the regional rep for the Severn Valley (Avon, Glos, Worcs and Herefordshire)
The West Country Area has been split up, following the initial good work of Stu and Sue Bullock!
I was born and grew up in Cornwall, but now live and work in Bristol (which probably has something to do with the 50-60,000 miles a year I cover?). Classic Cars have always been part of my life! I've run the Avon Area of the Triumph Sports Six Club for 8-9 years now, having had a 1600 Vitesse Saloon, tuned Mk2 Vitesse conv and a 2.5S saloon - nearly forgot the £175 Acclaim bought 2 days before a 2000 mile round Britain run for charity in 2002 (2000 miles in 48 hours, 3 of us driving - 1 mate actually said the best weekend ever without Stella!), ran for 12 months, then sold on for a profit!
MG's have always been part of my life - Dad has had a TC since '63, I've had a TF160 since April 2004, and a ZS 115td joined the fleet almost a year ago!
I'm a big MG Motorsport fan, often going to Blue Hills for the Lands End Trial (MG T types, J types etc etc), supporting the BTCC MG's as well as supporting the MG Lolas at LeMans in 2002. I've been to the bi-annual LeMans Classic in 2004, and this year, and would recommend it to anyone!! Seeing the 1920's and 30's Bentleys etc being used in anger (and MG's) is something else! Huge fan of pre war (and I include the TC in that despite it being just post war) MG racing to - MGCC Silverstone being a particular favourite!!
My first MGF Register event was a run to Stonehenge last year, got on-line this April, thoroughly enjoyed Kempenrit last month, and now I'm an area rep.
I aim to put on future area events, but also hope to join forces with neighboring reps / areas to ensure there's a varied selection of runs and events going on.
Luckily we have some great venues around us - Shelsy Walsh, Prescott, Castle Combe (on our door step) as well as us not being too far from most other venues!
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas let me know, I'm only the "Area Rep" you all make up the Severn Valley Area!
I'm hoping to put on a Run To The Surf with my fellow SW reps, a weekend down in Cornwall, sometime next year!!
I can be contacted by phone 07778 778985 or by email colinmurrell06@aol.com , or you can leave a message on the forums here for me.
I hope to see many of you at future events to come!
Colin
