[Fot] who builds their own engines? Update II

[EDWARD BARNARD]

Running a shop I'm here to tell you that the MG owners are without a doubt
cheaper than most TR owners. I owe this to the fact that MOST MG's on the road
resell for less then a TR, and command less of an excuse to dump wheelbarrows
of money into them. The MGB was the Miata of it's day. I'd venture to say that
the TR was the Z3 of it's day. If not for Spec Miata, Miata prices would be
much lower.
Have I opened a can of worms now?

No, we're triumph owners. we're so tight that we squeak.
