They have turned north for the first time after 24 days and 1200 miles of driving southwards.<\/p>\n<p>On January 29th, the group were in Rio Gallegos, and one car needed a replacement alternator. This was purchased for the princely sum of US$350, which some might consider to be daylight robbery. But perhaps appropriate, as the bank in Rio Gallegos was robbed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid on Valentine&#8217;s Day in 1905.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mgpanamerica.mgcc.com.au\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Follow the Australian&#8217;s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGAR2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/GodwinIMG_3333_resized.jpg\" alt=\"What is the Connection Between Butch Cassidy &amp; the MGs from Oz?\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-43609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/GodwinIMG_3333_resized.jpg 500w, https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/GodwinIMG_3333_resized-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The eight Australian MGs driving through South America, Central America, and North America, being led<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-mg-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43607"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43607\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/namgar.com\/NAMGARMAIN\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
