Probably should be in the photo section, but they are of interest on the Beggars Roost M type - Chassis 2M1594. Here are 3 photos of the Midge (that's what the M type was colloquially called in its early years); I'd be surprised if anyone has seen them before. Amazing what one can find when they start digging!
George Propert and wife are in the photos, along with his friend Bud and wife (last names not known). Date these are taken is unknown, but I think it's probably 1930 based on other photos of "Pops" (George Propert) I have

Old pictures (2M1594) are rare and beautiful when they are supplemented. Two images of different quality have appeared twice in the register.

So, what is a podcast?
Well put simply, Podcasts are best described as on-demand Internet radio. The word “podcast” combines the words pod and broadcast. Don’t worry though, you don’t need an iPod to access them, which simply refers to the fact that the content is portable, so you can listen to it anywhere you go.
How do I listen?
Listening to the MG Car Club podcast is really easy. The quickest way is via the dedicated podcast website at www.mgpodcast.uk
