My other hobby was created by MG mad

Posted 11 years 11 months ago #54874

Back when I lived in a country where beer was not the cheapest beverage at the supermarket, I got into homebrewing. It evolved from a way of merely saving money to brewing some really nice beers, especially as I like the science of it. Got sick of cleaning bottles all the time, so being an engineer I came up with a better solution.

Only problem was having to leave it behind, I miss it almost as much as I miss my Midget...

96 MGF 1.8i: Project Rally Car
98 MGF Abingdon" 285H cams, modded head etc
87 MG Metro: 1440cc fast road car
88 MG Metro Turbo
70 MG Midget: 1.9L VVC + supercharger + RWD = YEEHAA!
72 MGBGT: Project Speed 6 MGB
05 MG ZT-T 260: wife's sensible car
01 MG ZS 180: LHD, for driving around Germany in

I used to be a Haggis Hunter and discovered a brand new strain of smooth haired Haggis in the Kingdom of Fife...they are now known as the 'Kingdom Haggis'. They are really lovely, playful creatures and absolutely love a Single Malt!

You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realised
that people didn't like me anyway!

Well spotted oh wise one

...however that's exactly what the Haggis think and it acts as a great decoy!! You catch them unawares!! :whistle:
