Hi All, I'm about to order a manual for the B. Of course I want it for all my work, but I have a specific question about the electrical schematics: What is the difference in the schematics between th

Well, I know one guy who registered his Bricklin for a song and dance... If they only use the standard NADA book, doesn't that only include cars out to 7 years old? I believe NADA also has an "older

Trevor, Good Point. I was thinking the same thing; lead is safe until you start making it a particulate, and then it's probably more of a brain-eater than Bondo could ever be. Always wear a mask, an

How can there not be both female and male MGs? Otherwise, how would they have bred? And DON'T tell me they're asexual. I think mine's a male, but you have to take them to an experienced MG mechanic

But Rick, A lot of women own MGs, and I'm sure a lot of them find men to be just like you describe women above. I can't see having a "gender" based relationship with my car, but I can see them almos

John, I'm pretty well aware that gender is also a grammatical term, but to believe that it is exclusively such is ignoring the other legitimate use entirely. It is absolutely NOT incorrect for me, w
