Listers, 
It was fun, had to share results as I don't remember seeing some of these 
suggestions for alternate vehicles...
Also question at the end....


Car-o-scope:

                  Comparing You to Other MG MGB Owners

                  You picked a vehicle which is just about perfect
                  for you. Congratulations! For example, when compared to other
                  people who own a MG MGB, you're just about the same in terms 
of
                  your age, how much you really care about your car, and your
                  educational level.

                  But there are some psychographic and/or demographic measures 
on
                  which you differ from other MG MGB owners. For example, 
you're,
                  well--to be generous--a bit too frugal, and you are a little 
too much of a
                  snob.

     How can you be frugal  AND a snob , especially when driving an MGB?

                  1.  Buick Gran Sport
                  2.  Buick Roadmaster  ????
                  3.  Lexus GS300
                  4.  Mercedes Benz E Class
                  5.  Volvo 854

    Buicks?  And 2 of them.... Aren't Roadmasters those big 'boats' they made 
in the 50's and 60s?  Maybe this is to transport the MGB, just put it in the 
trunk!
Well, this just threw off their demographics.....


Question:
I have to replace the rear brake hose on a 69 MGB, and was just wondering if 
there are any tips or tricks to doing this. Is there any way to lessen the 
fluid loss while changing the hose so the bleeding (mine and the car's..) won't 
be such  a chore?
TIA,
