unexpected shite through the post

[fordperv]

yesterday we had a missed delivery card through the door a bit confused as no parcel was expected, so today mrs fordperv went to collect it and it turns out it was a one of a thousand corgi mg given out by old speckled hen as a runner up prize to an online competition that she had entered and forgot about not worth a great anything just a nice bit of surprise shite

 

just wondering if any one else got one or maybe the mg they gave away

Nice - what type of MG is it?

[fordperv]

she received one of these

an mgb roadster, apparently its to celebrate 50 years of the mgb and done because of the link between old specked hen and mg

 

below is shamelessly stolen from classic and sports car

 

The famous ale brand started life as a commemorative beer to mark the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory in Abingdon.

 

The company’s marketing director, Dom South, explains: “Old Speckled Hen took its distinctive name from an old canvas-covered MG used by employees as the factory runaround.

 

“Often parked outside the factory paint shop and consequently splattered with flecks of paint, this unique little motor was lovingly nicknamed the Owld Speckled ’Un’. It provided the perfect inspiration for the name of the new beer.

I once received a Curtis Stigers CD through the post, totally out the blue. Never found out who'd sent it, or why. I assumed it was hate mail.

Fook! My boss is leaving for pastures new next week, and has has a "Citron" Green Rubber MGB, REALLY low mileage (2000ish???) which he lavishes his attention on. I bought him some "speck" yesterday, with the intention of delivering today... but the fact that the sentence I typed needed 7 proofreading corrections tells people that they missed the boat........
