Great article by Mike Barnes of the St.Louis MG club in the latest MGB Driver on installing a cruise control. As an advocate of long trips in an MG, they are worth their weight in gold. I couldn't ha

What a wimp! I have driven from TX to N CA and back without a CC in a MGB Roadster. Geeze, Cruise Control? Lock throttle cable at 3800 rpm and go on!! _______________________________________________

How many consecutive hours did you drive? BTW, didn't your mother tell you not to call names and that rude is never funny? We usually avoid that on this list. Jack __________________________________

There is a TD owner in Florida who fitted cruise control. He drives miles, as you do. Last summer he went from home to Maine and back, and every summer he puts 3-4M miles on the car. His is the only

I once test drove a nice Jensen Interceptor convertible to which someone had fitted an after market cruise control. It probably hadn't had the accelerator more than half way to the floor in years and

Friend has a Fiat 600 like that once. You could hunch over the wheel, gripping it for all you were worth, foot trying to push the accelerator through the floor, doing your most impassioned imitation

Oh, that hurts. Thought you sold enough crankshafts to prove that the little engines can rev high enough to self-destruct, at least in the lower gears. Bob On Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:20:04 -0800 "Dodd, K

It's been written somewhere that an early MG advert on signs was "Faster Than Most", to which witty chldren added "bicycles". "Safety Fast" replaced the unfortunate original wording. BTW--someone rec
