Hello, David, and all British Car Enthusiasts in la belle New Brunswick:
I'm a member of the MG club here in Ottawa, and would like to pass on information about a guy we met with earlier this week. His name is Roy Locock, and he is driving his MG Midget (who's name is ..... yes, you've guessed it - Bridget!) around the world to raise money and awareness for UNICEF. He doesn't have any sponsors or support crew, but he does have a whacky sense of humour and a a wealth of interesting tales to tell. I'm not sure exactly where he is now, but yesterday he was in Montreal and planning to head for Quebec today. His expected route takes him up around the Gaspe Penninsular, then through New Brunswick to Nova Scotia, arriving in Halifax some time on September 20. This is the end of the road for their world tour, and Bridget will be shipped back to Liverpool shortly thereafter for the short drive back to Oxford, where it all started over a year ago.
Here is a link to his website, where you can read about their adventures to date, and post a message - he checks it every day and responds to everyone, as you will see.
I do hope you will get chance to meet him, and I know he would appreciate the hospitality and friendliness for which the maritimes are famous. If you can rustle up some publicity or fundraising for his cause, he would appreciate that too.
From your website, it looks like you are a pretty active organization and you have lots of fun, which is what it's all about eh? If David and I are ever in New Brunswick (no plans for this year now, sigh ...) we'll look you up. And if any of your members are around the nation's capital, give us a shout.
Kind regards - saftey fast!
Trish and Polly Blue (my 1971 MGB - see attached)
