Winter FasTForward

15th Anniversary edition of FasTForward – Out Now!

The Winter edition of FasTForward has been published and it’s a special edition. This is Issue number 60 which means that it has been a barely believable 15 years since that first edition was printed. Who would have thought that the MGF Register would still be publishing the only MGF/TF dedicated magazine all these years later?

In Issue 59 Adrian Tucker-Peake took a detailed look a the Hybrid 200HPD TF and in this issue he details the follow-up project – the Versatile Environmental Road Vehicle (a Rover 25) which was developed in 2004 for the government’s Ultra Low Carbon Car Challenge. It’s another case of “what might have been” if MG-Rover had not closed down in 2005.

Phil Rigby takes us on to the track in Part 2 of hi Rookie Racer’s Ramblings as he prepares for racing in his MGF and Tim Morris explores the rave culture of the MGF (well, at least the first five MGF birthday parties anyway!).

Along the way John Riley shows us his 85th Anniversary TF and Tim Rowe doesn’t go on the MGF Register National Weekend. There have been a couple of events organised with full CV19 safety measures and Geoff Northcliffe writers about his trip to Gaydon for the MGCC 90th Anniversary celebration and we also take a trip to Leonardslee Gardens n Sussex where the South East Centre were running a Motorsport UK test event with 120 MGs, again fully CV19 compliant.

As usual, there are news and views from around the Regions and Internationally. The magazine is available by subscription for four issues only at £16 for Members and £20 for non-members/Europe (£22 for rest of world).

MGTF 200HPD

With electric vehicles becoming more important we reach back to a moment that may have put MG Rover at the forefront of hybrid electric power – the World’s first hybrid sports roadster.

Adrian Tucker-Peake’s informative article on the unique MGTF 200HPD Hybrid was published in the Autumn edition of FasTForward magazine. We’ve uploaded a pdf of the article which you can download and read online.

Look out for a follow-up article in the Winter edition soon.
