Nice experience right Jon?
I had the first long drive to the test location last monday with lots of
tools in the car.
Boy was I proud!
I enjoyed of every mile (100 overall)!
Cheers,

Subject: First real trip
I decided to use the MG, on my vacation to Farsund ( Norway) this year. 420
Km ( 420/1,6 = ca255 miles), one way.
So far, I have only used it on short towing_distance trips around Oslo.
The MG is quite nice on long trips ( 6-7 hrs), abit noisy perhaps ? No sound
dampening installed, yet.
I ( The car really) got a lot of compliments. The younger ones of my family
was not impressed by the 95+ BHP / max speed 103,4 miles.
I have to lower the compression, I do have some irritating pinking. I tried
'104' octane booster, no help. MossMotors sells from www.headgasket.com.
Left front brake is sticking a bit. The right side was sticking last year.
Some work with a can of brake cleaner solved it.
Got some exhaust leak from the cylinderhead/manifold, again. ( sight)
