Intro to MGs: Every so often I receive information requests from new
MGB owners. When I do I send them the following. I believe information
is the most important thing in keeping this hobby alive. Hope this
helps a few. Safety Fast, David Deutsch

There is an e-mail MG list you can get on by e-mailing to:
Majordomo@autox.team.net
Leave the subject blank
type in message area "subscribe mgs"
This will hook you into a system of over 400 MG owners
you will on a busy day recieve from 30 to 50 MG related postings to the
list. Alot is nonsense but some is very useful info.
