Howdy folks, wanted to say hello on joining the forum, this appears to be an active British car site, a welcome find.

I have a 78 B with a 76 motor and radiator (no electric fans)
My wife bought the orig 76 in about 78 then about 81 rust brought on the switch to the 78 body,which she got thru working for an insurance co (one of what sounds like several 78 engine fires).

We have had this car nearly forever. I have not been driving the car much the last few yrs since my wife passed. But decided to start driving it more so that brings us to today, car runs great, webber (the lowley down draft progressive), header, no smog stuff, Great solid car!!

I have always worked on it, a bit out of practice over the last 6 -7 yrs used to know it by heart but she has been in indoor storage. Getting back at it car needs to be driven and freshen up a few things (A arm bushings, have a set of V8 MG / Rover ones that have been aging in the tool cabinet!)

I enjoy sports cars in general motorcycles have a couple of fairly early BMW's (1 driver 83 R100 RS, 1 project 74 R75)
Also a fan of the earlyer Porsches (aircooled) either 4 or 6 cyl. Other forums I belong to most of my time is spent in the help sections, at this point with the MG and being out of touch lately I am sure I may be asking more than helping.

Just wanted to say hello and if anyone is in or traveling thru western North Carolina drop me a note.

Regards
 
Hi There Jerry,

"Welcome" to the BCF. "THEE" best LBC site for Fun, Education, Questions and Answers.

Introduce Yourself and Your "B" to the MG Forum and ask away.

Hope to see driving thru the Foothills.

Enjoy the Ride,

Russ

Great introduction......
Welcome to the forum.
 
Hope driving the car brings back some good memories before your loss.

Great to hear from you....Welcome to the forum. Lots of knowledge in this group...So take your time and work as you go!
 
Hello All and thanks for the notes, I have been out of town, (Chicago racing sail boats) I will post pics bit having a bit of a tec issue in doing so. Looks like I need to resize them, not really my cup of tea but will learn more about this forum and those considerate to provide it to us.

And Russ, when we moved back to the Carolinas from SoCal we rented a place just outside Easley, LOVED Pickens!! Interviewed at the Ryoby / old Singer plant a couple of times but did not pan out.
Folks lived in Franklin would take the B there across thru Rosman or Wahalla and across the river thru Claton.
Great area!!

Again thanks for the notes.

Regards
 
Welcome to the BCF! There are a couple of us life long LBC types here in Walhalla, SC. We mostly race Spridgets, but my shop landlord has one of the new Mini's. Me, I just have lots of projects and race car carcasses out by or in the barn.

Have some property on top of Flat Top mountain over near Fairview, NC and hope to build up there one day. My brother has a cabin up there now. Great place. Not the "Tiger" place, but nearby.

Again welcome aboard,
Mike Miller
 
Sounds like FUN, drop me a note if in the area, I dont getdown that way much, I do need to look up a guy last name Howell (left the note at work) in the greer area that is supposed to have quite a few mg's & other british stuff for parts. There was a guy up here but it is all gone.
