Your wife is right about one thing. It is correct that midlife does reawaken in many men a desire to impress and hustle young women. It is ironic that this desire arises in a man at an age when the p

Reliant. Hmmm... Were they the makers of the blue 3-wheeled van that we keep seeing in episodes of Mr. Bean? In one episode, it backed up suddenly. Because the single front wheel was turned, the sudd

Perhaps you will be forced to a solution similar to mine. Bugeye Sprites use a tank with a continuous steel filler from the cap to the tank, while later spridgets have a short pipe on the tank, a sho

Or, you can opt for non-sealed beam halogens with a modest bulb, like 55/60W, and see a very substantial improvement in distance and pattern. Of course, your MG now is legal only for use off road (nu

Absolutely correct. A 4 wheel trailer should be set up so it is dead level when unloaded, then the load should be positioned so about 10% of the combined weight of the trailer and load is on the hitc

The surge brakes are easier to use, but they offer little control. The surge brake system uses a link in the trailer tongue that is connected to a master cylinder. When the tow vehicle slows, the tra

I don't want to prolong this forever, but maybe it is of interest to some on the net who plan to do some towing. For you car people, though, smoothness may not be as critical as it is for horse towin

Part of this should be easy to trouble shoot. You have a new coil, and power to the coil primary. If the coil is good and has power, then you have to have a fault in the circuit through the points. T

Mark II seats are about the same, I think, but hard to find. Later seats are thicker and reduce legroom. I find the bugeye seats comfortable. I have a spare pair, but they are probably little better

I think before any of us can guess what might do this, we need to know exactly what happened. You are driving down the road and suddenly power disappears at which point the tach drops to zero--right?
