OK, so who on the list is under 56? How many are over my age of 76?

Curious in Michigan,

    Racer Steve,
    Welcome to the real MG's have 4 doors group. I am the teenager in this 
    wily old group at 64 lol. Have a 74.5 BGT that is still being restored but 
    is on the road and about 95% done. A 70B Heritage body shell that my wife 
    claims is hers and "Jeanne" our family car. She is a 58 ZB steel blue and 
    gets the best awards at car shows. Named after my 92 year old Mother.
    Your collection is impressive.  Good luck and Safety Fast!

    Hey Racer Steve ("RS"?)  -

    Your racing pedigree deserves respect, and 
    you have mine!  ' Never raced.  ' Did a bit of autocrossing many 
    years ago - only to discover that under pressure of competition, I lose all 
    respect for the machine, and just run it balls to the wall. ' Surprised I 
    didn't destroy my poor old '73 B/GT; but I did learn that I have the wrong 
    temperament for competitive driving. 

    We have some inventory in common: I'm putting 
    my '65 B together.  It was a basketcase I bought in '89, and it has yet 
    to see the road. A few other projects intervened, including my '57 ZBV 
    Magnette. ' Have never had a TF but did have a TD for several years.  
    Like you, age has been an increasing factor. I still can get up and down 
    from my creeper a dozen times per hour while working on the MGs, but with 
    age 76 coming up in a couple weeks, can't help but wonder how long this will 
    last.  I'm having to adjust my attitude: if I can do it today, that's 
    all I need to know.  Once I finish the '65, the '60 A 1600 and the '69 
    C/GT are next.  I'll be darned if my long range plans should be limited 
    by my long range prognosis (and even that looks pretty good). I've known 
    guys restoring these cars well into their 90s - why give up 15 years short 
    of that?  Nevertheless, old age sucks, as I'm sure you'll agree.  

    OK, so my B/GT is a '73, but I do have a '69 
    C/GT.  OK, not even close, but I got the year right, and I love the 
    car. It's been lurking in the back of my shop for seven years, but recently, 
    courtesy of Robert Kirk, it has brakes!  Drives great around the 
    yard.  A few new switches and I can at least drive it.

    In the meantime, my recently-restored 
    Magnette keeps presenting me with nagging new and continuing problems.  
    Clutch is leaking down internally, so I've got an M/C problem.  Not 
    really major, except I'm not looking forward to pulling the damn 
    thing.  

    In the meantime, my daily-driver '73 GT has a 
    cracked head - again...  I've run it on the cracked head for perhaps a 
    year.  It really runs well. Fast enough to put the proverbial smile on 
    my face, but I have to address that head!  And since I'm thinking of 
    something akin to a Burgess econotune head, I think I'll have to go through 
    the bottom end again too. ' Rebuilt the whole thing back in '92 but oil 
    pressure doesn't go to 75# any more...  There's a bit of magic going on 
    in this old cracked head.  ' Have no idea what it is, but don't want to 
    lose it in the replacement.  ' Might pick your brain a bit if you don't 
    mind.

    At any rate, welcome again!  So glad to 
    see new folks respond so quickly.  ' Look forward to your presence on 
    the list.

    Cheers,
    Allen

    Wow! Appears you guys are really MG fans, a really good thing.
    In the early 70's I raced one of the E Production Huffaker MGB’s in the 
    Cal .Club region of the SCCA, so how about “Racer Steve?”
    My first car was a 1955 TF, which I still have. We're in the process of 
    getting it back together after way too many years of “rest.”
    I also have a ‘65 MGB that I built up while working at Huffaker 
    Engineering. It's overdue for a freshening up, a ‘69 BGT that needs a 
    complete restoration, a “55 ZA Magnetite that's in line after the TF, and 
    I’m almost done with my “62 Mini Countryman. I just hope I live long enough 
    to get them all done and don't run out of $$$.
    Looking forward to meeting everyone on the “List.”
    Cheers,
    Racer Steve
    PS:  I also raced a Formula Atlantic car way back then, and more 
    recently a “65 Mini Cooper S and a Turner MKIII that I just sold. Probably 
    won’t race any more due to back and shoulder problems (too dam old!)
