Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

And to beat @tsedge to it......

NOT charging in the Dieppe French Sun.

? Sorry.

I couldn't resist. ?

lol technically very true. I had just finished charging after my Lidl shop.

Which siteguru was right I was also charging my own batteries by getting some nice cheap wine.

And yes for drinking when I wasn’t driving lol

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

Maybe he was recharging his own "batteries" rather than the car's?

Can I just today, add my sincerest apologies to @tsedge.

I was of course, as you ALL know, having some fun yesterday with the "Not Charging in the French Sun Post, but sadly got the member wrong.

It should of course been @siteguru.

The Pedant Crown has without doubt, always belonged to this member.

I realised this when I woke up at 04:40AM with a start, realising my grave and inexcusable error.

This member is without doubt, 'World Class' at picking up errors of every sort, and of course, gives us all a giggle in the process.

Not always correct though, I mean who can ever forget the
"EVs Don't have radiators" debacle as a more recent example in this forums history?

I doff my cap to the superior knowledge often displayed in the forums hallowed pages, but am sometimes myself, also drawn into the Pedant circle to correct and enlighten. (And Amuse)

I hope this Tongue in Cheek post is received in the manner for which it was intended, and suffice to say, I go on and bid you ALL, a good day.

I have here an actual Janny’s playtime disrupting bell ?

 

[tsedge]

I am in pieces on the floor.

I was devasted by the @Bricktop X PWR comment - thrown into confusion, self-doubt and depression.

Then to find out I was NOT the target, my self-esteem has collapsed and sense of purpose evaporated.

I'm currently in rehab. Expect me not to return for at least six months. The bill is going to @Bricktop X PWR but he'll be pleased to know that the food is good here ? ?

Today’s Meticulous Travel Log for the MG Magnette.

Here we see the fab five at Insch near Inverurie about to head home via Banchory and Braemar. It had some Watts left over from its feast yesterday in Brechin. I stopped in Braemar and fed it in the car park for an hour or so whilst I collected some undyed smoked Haddock from the far travelled Arbroath fish van. Then I had one of those pleasant drives I enjoy over the Devil’s (straightened out) Elbow down through Perth and on to home.
The bit that intrigued me today was from the Ski Centre at the top of the “Elbow” roughly nineteen wonderfuly twisty miles to the Bridge of Cally.
As I began the descent I noticed the that GOM proclaimed 166 miles reserve in the battery. Then just as i crossed the aforementioned bridge GOM settled back down on the 166 prediction.
Not one of my icemobiles ever had a self replenishing fuel tank ?
In conclusion, that Haddock poached a treat in soy milk substitute and was absolutely delicious.
And the car sits in the drive with around thirty or so miles remaining and I really can’t be bothered with the extreme hassle of holding that plug in all night long just waiting for it to charge - you know the what I mean ?

 

[Bricktop X PWR]

Come on then!

This is an excellent thread.
(Even if I say so myself)

There must be loads of you out there with excellent pictures of your MG (MG!!!!!) in scenic locations out and about.

Bring them on.......?

For some reason I haven't taken many pictures of my cars in nice places, however dug this up. My first EV bought in 2020 but these taken in 2021, the MG ZS EV Mk1 somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales on the way to Hawes.

How about revenge squint parking in an ice bay at the Arrochar hotel on Loch Long as the Worlds oldest Paddle Steamer visits to pay homage to the mighty five ?

At least you only used half the ICE bay ?

Well of course - they don’t charge ?

Three gigantic structures cross the river nine miles over yonder in the mist.

HELP. I was abducted today from Broxden park and ride car park by Diesel Daughter and her Canine Consort.
I was taken to Banchory via the Cairn o’ Mount and had to endure the noise and the multiple many gear changes going on up and down the box of gears to negotiate that favourite road. Don’t get me wrong, Daughter is fabulous and a smoother more consistent driver one couldn’t wish for but her heart’s in the diesel and I can’t tempt her over to the side of wattage righteousness however hard I try. After our hospital visit I was force fed cinnamon buns, fresh from the oven with icing melting with the heat. Then later a picnic in Banchory Bellfield park and a long wait in the massive ice cream queue for waffle cones with honeycomb ice cream.
Then I was left in Perth with twice the power I needed to get home and wanted to do a full Charge and Balance. I successfully wasted a stack of power roasting the car up through Glenfarg and sat at 70+?? But failed completely as I am home still showing about 15% battery left.
You can’t win I’m pleased to say ??

Additional -
When I got back to the car in Perth, I found the lights were on and I assume must have been since I left the car.
So of course, the 12 V battery was almost totally dead.
I got the power bank out from under the passenger seat, coupled it to the 12 V battery for a minute or so and powered up the car.
I’ve plugged the power bank to the mains on coming home for half an hour or so and it’s now almost full
I must check with the idiot who parked the car and See why he left the lights on ??
