Z Magnette Day 2011
Another chapter of the Z Magnette Day "history" has been written. It was Christine & Radboud Meijerink, who invited us to Winssen in the Netherlands. They found a beautiful small campsite, where those who prefer a bed could rent a hut, while the others stayed in their tent.

Magnettes at MG 2011 Reno-Tahoe
The National Council of MG Registers held an all register gathering from June 13 -17 in Reno, Nevada, USA. A total of 612 cars were registered for the show field. The week included beautiful area drives through the Virginia City, Lake Tahoe and Donner's Pass environs. Reno was a good host, the downtown whitewater park and baseball field provided entertainment. Tech sessions, valve cover races and John Twist's rolling tech sessions kept everyone involved.
The car show included 10 ZA/ZB Magnettes and one Farina. Jim Phelps won the People's Choice first place plaque, Rodger and Cindy Shaver, Mike Jacobson, and Stan and Dee Johnson were second, third and fourth, respectively.

GP100 comprised the initials of Gerald Palmer, the designer of the Magnette and other British cars and 100 was to mark the centenary of his birth in 1911. It was also hoped to get 100 Palmer designed cars to the event, and that is what we actually achieved! Other single-marque clubs representing his major creations were invited, as well as Palmer’s daughter, Celia, his biographer Christopher Balfour and a number of his former colleagues. This was to be a very special celebration indeed.

MAGNETTE RUN TO SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS
Sunday 17 April 2011
Malcolm Robertson enjoys a day in the picturesque NSW Southern Highlands for the second MG Magnette day…
As I reported last year, the Southern Highlands, not far outside Sydney, Australia's biggest, noisiest and most crowded city, are often referred to as a tiny patch of England, so like some parts of the old country are they. Green fields, grey drizzle (usually), narrow winding roads, deciduous trees ablaze with amazing autumn colours, tiny villages with red post boxes on every corner.
