Dear Listers, There have been a few anecdotes from various listers covering long distance drives. In these accounts, I read of speeds of 75-80 mph and am amazed. When I achieve 70 miles an hour my B

At 70 it should be steady and secure on the road. That's a normal road speed for MGBs, even w/o overdrive. The car can cruise a 70 mph for hours on end. You will hear engine and wind noise, but stee

When my 72B was new, it would cruise at 80-85 all day long. Of course the speed limit in those days was 70-75 and it was safe to travel at that speed without getting a ticket. Now that the speed lim

Agreed. Mine was quite scary above 70 MPH until I rebuild the suspension systems and replaced bushings. However, I have slightly smaller diameter wheels on my car than most B's, so 70-75 MPH was aro

I have spent money on my suspension (it is all V8 and tougher, nolathane bushings, etc.) for a little 4 banger but it remains pretty much standard configuration (no tube shocks) and is really, really

Most older cars (designed before computer analysis of harmonic vibrations) have a particular speed at which they are particularly prone to vibration. Generally this was above or near the top of the n

My car used to have terrible wheel and scuttle shake at various speeds but as I've replaced and fixed all the suspension and wheel problems they've all gone away. Well, there is still a slight scuttl

I've never had any trouble getting my TD to stick to the road at 70 or even 80. <<<snip>>> MG asserted in at least one advertising piece that the TD 'sticks to the road like a limpet'. Maybe so, thou

The TD sticks OK. The MGB sticks much better. To those who have to deal with limpets, their adhesion is one of nature's miracles. Epoxies fall short in comparison. Bob /// or try http://www.team.net/

Right! I never thought of that, but you're spot on. Pop out the clutch and notice the virtual absence of wheelspin as the TD hurtles forward at neck-snapping rate. It's just amazing what they could d
