Mark,
Seen something like you describe for Jeeps and other selected 4-wheelers.
Never seen one for an MG. Personally I would like some more info.
However, Attaching it to the wheels?? kinda make drivin' difficult, if
you ask me. And I thought the whole idea was to drive w/o the top and not
get wet.
Wait a minute - isn't that what the the hood is for any way?
Or maybe af faster way to get under cover (That I could deal with. See
post per Carlisle)
