- Hi everyone, I've loved having my mailbox filled with 300 messages about MG's for the last week. It has been fun and informative. This is my first time posting on the list, and I must admit I don't o

- All the rubber bumpered MG's are not terrible. I happened to get one that is a 1974 1/2 with very few horsepower strangling troublemaker devices. I will admit though, that the next one I get will pro

- Isn't it wonderful that all these youngsters are interested in MG's? Mason, I agree with Don about getting an early MG, but I'll go even farther and suggest that you get a pre-'68 car (whether B, Mi

- I have to agree, painting the bumpers on a rubber bumper (5mph crash bumper) sure makes them look great. I saw my first ones painted this summer while at a car show in Louisville, KY and then again i

- Absolutly. Great book. I used it as a bible, and even copied the "how to buy" section and carried it with me as sort of a check list when I looked at cars. Good advice. Try to drive it twice (or more
