OK so I will admit this right away: I drive my MG in the winter. Yes, it snows. I've done a little bit of searching, and it seems the only ski rack available for the MG is the type that hangs off the

Amco made a ski rack for MG's. I'm looking at an Amco ad for them. "MGB ski rack - $22.95." Oh, it is on page 60 of Car & Driver from January - 1964. Norm Sippel '66 MGB - but no skis. I just donated

Don't knock Ralp Nader too hard re: the Corvair. The pre-1964 cars were treacherous beyond belief. I owned a couple of them. One had to decamber the rear wheels, use rebound straps and add a sway bar

A friend of mine has a '63 Corvair that's essentially stock. The suspension is completely rebuilt and he's terrified to drive it on the highway. He's not very mechanically inclined. Consequently, he'

Tell him that taking a coil out of the rear springs to decamber the rear and adding a stiffer roll bar in the front will help a lot. They're only really dangerous in the wet. It's also a good idea to
