Having just checked the Locate Members page for UK, model designations are beginning to appear more and more however, running down the page points up the real value of including county; without it you need to go right through the list to find towns close to you.

I have been a continuous MG owner since 1951. I've owned mostly T-Series, and now PA 0921. I am entirely dependant on sources like this web-site, and I pray that the format remain basically unchanged. Only today, I drove some 500 Kms (round trip) to see Ron Jackson's PB 0362 which is literally 'rising from the ashes'. These means are the only way I can possibly hope to complete my restoration ... reading and looking and learning.
I had the good fortune to stop overnight with Nick Feakes and his wife at their charming home on the St. Mary's River in Florida, about a year ago. I was appaled that he was working from an antiquated lap-top of what appeared to be inadequate specification, and immediatley begged for some modern hardware for Nick. Nick maintains the "front end" of our web-site and IMHO, does a fabulous job. The up-dated means to post an image, is a major improvement - Thanks Nick.
For those of you who who are asking for embellishments, keep in mind the intent of the web-site. Without a doubt this web-site and the TD/TF site are the only things that keep me sane during our dark Canadian winters. I can't see any advantage to making it more graphical. That only slows down-loading and I have to go outside and beat the chickens off the line with a bat, when a big file starts to come in!

Hi Gord
I fact my sons pooled their resources and bought me a new laptop for Christmas - VERY high end a big improvement, but thank you for the kind words. I agree with you that there is a definite downside to a very graphical website, it certainly will slow down page loading for anyone without a fast connection so I am in favour of adding features while keeping the familiar, familiar (so to speak!).
