Our addictio\"\"n to travel began with travelling for 5 months across Africa in 1974, on our way from Australia to jobs in Oxford, UK. Since then we\u2019re had a good go at our list of Must See counties, including a lot of Europe and North and South America, many trips to India and Nepal and a fair hunk of the Middle East. We\u2019ve never been to China or the \u2018Stans,so the Silk Road trip was just too tempting.<\/p>\n

Our involvement with MGs goes back just as far, with the purchase of a TD in 1973, and many MGs, both pre-war and modern, road and racing cars, since then. Many of our long-term friends are from the MG Car Club and some are on this trip! We\u2019re looking forward to the ultimate road trip and great cultural and mechanical adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
