Hi all,
Just wondering who the oldest person is to ride in or drive a Midas.
The other week I gave a lift in my MKIII Gold Coupe to a guy from my local camera club, he is 82 years old. I used to give regular lifts to another guy from the camera club who was in his late 80s a few years ago.

Hoping to go to the open day on the 19th. Just got my exhaust fixed so hopefully I`ll be able to make. Runs quieter no too.

Glad there was a good celebration. Wished I`d been there, had so much on I couldn`t get to the Stoneleigh show. Do you know the date for the open day? All being well I should be able to attend now my Midas is roadworthy and all polished up.

Hi,
Haven`t been on the site for a while but I`ve now got my Gold Coupe up and running with new gearbox, well a reconditioned one. Lots of new parts for steering and ball joints and a few other little bits. All MOT`d & taxed. I`m just having new front flexable brake hoses and master cylinder and ...

Hi, Thanks for the info. I am hoping to make the Stoneleigh show, just got my Gold Coupe back on the road with new rec gearbox. Just having brakes sorted now. When is the Open Day this year?.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I have similar cracks on my Mk3 coupe almost as if someone has gone over parts of the car with a wire brush. From what I`ve found out by searching the web gel coat can be repaired and restored. If you aren`t confident at repairing yourself (like me - easy to make a horrible mess by inexperienced ...
