Last Saturday was our MG club's annual picnic.
Had a great time but on the way home the Midget conked out with a bad distributor cap (!) and the water pump gave up at the same time.
The good news is now I get to use the $50 gift certificate from British Parts NW to buy the parts! BPNW have very good prices on the most common parts - also they have a distributor cap with copper (not aluminum) contacts and, as Morris points out, the flat top pistons for the 1500 - something the other suppliers don't have.
This certificate was the prize in this year's Virtual Rally that Basil kindly sets up every year or so. I still can't believe I ended up in first place because I am a very poor navigator ("your other left, dagnabbit!!!").
I would like to encourage you all to have a go next time because it's good fun and you stand a good chance of getting the certificate!
Cheers!
