Just dropped the 77 B over at the service station for inspection. While 
Pete (Important rule of MG ownership: be on a first name basis with 
your local service garage workers/owners) was filling out the paper 
work, he said "this is the last time this car will need to be emission 
tested". In fact, as of early 98 (not sure of exact date) all MGs will 
be exempted. OK OK, not just MGs but all cars manufactured prior to 
81'. This is the first I've heard of this and is a great relieve as 
starting next year NY state is testing cars on Dynos that simulate 
different driving conditions, ie: idle, aceleration and deaceleration.
I'm wondering if my wife's 93 Mazda MPV is going to pass. I just hope 
Pete knows what he is talking about and that this is the whole truth 
and nothing but. I'll let you all know how the car did on the safety 
end of the inspection when I get it back later. Safety Fast, David
