Hi,

Just joined the forum. Already post on occasion over at the Moss forums and looking for more information as I work on my car. So far I have done some basic repairs like replacing the leaf springs, new top, electrical wiring work (lights didn't work when I bought the car),new front wheel bearings and new hub adapters, new tierods...Anyway, have some questions I will ask over in the mg area.

cheers,

john in VA

I'm at home with strange. A good friend of mine has over 50 Vintage Japanese motorcycles from the 50's, 60's, and 70's and a Delorean all housed in his climate controlled museum. He keeps music playing for them when he's not around. Maybe that's considered weird instead of strange...:)
