Tyson has given very good advice here and I agree with him. I have been driving my 74 MGBGT daily for the last 5 years - well at least up until Sept 11th - I used to drive it about 18 miles one way

I can't help but notice that all of the guys who are saying "Yeah, sure, mine is a daily driver, no problem" are the members of the board that the rest of us could refer to as "the answer guys". If y
