In August 2003 Dr Gavin Bailey commented that "now the V8 Website is so content-rich, it is easy to miss new items!" and suggested "a webpage to help regular users spot new or updated items on the website". So a convenient grey Recent Changes button on the Homepage was introduced linked to this webpage update log. Now you can simply click any item on this webpage update log and see the individual webpages which have been added or changed. We hope this service will prove particularly useful for regular visitors to the V8 Website.

The V8 Website is the most active
and regularly updated website for
MG V8 enthusiasts - just scroll down
the log of material website additions
or changes recorded above and in
the right hand column and judge for yourself!

V8 Register - the leading group for MG V8 enthusiasts

This webpage update log began on 30th August 2003. Many small detail changes and corrections are made which account for around two thirds of the changes to the V8 Website, so only the material webpage changes of interest to members are recorded on the log above.
Postings prior to 1st January 2007 have been archived.

V8 webmaster in action again. My apologies for the inactivity on the V8 website but getting a new Broadband service and resolving the uploading issues for the website have taken some time.

Tuesday 26th February 2008
Despite repeated calls to the Broadband service provider the service was not restored by noon today so alternative Broadband arrangements have had to be made. The new service provider indicates the Broadband service for the V8 Webmaster should be available from Wednesday 5th March 2008. No V8 website updates will be possible until the new service is available.

Wednesday 20th February 2008
From Tuesday night the V8 Webmaster's Broadband service was unavailable because of difficulties with the service provider's systems. Apologies for the disruption to the usual daily website updates.
