MG Enthusiast Magazine

[tony barnhill]

Has anybody else seen the March issue? Great MG Model Guide detailing every MG made since 1924 to present....exactly what I needed to make placquecards for my cars...tells years produced, numbers produced, specs, & even a price guide (though in pounds)....worth the price of that issue alone!

Got mine yesterday Tony. I buy it every month. It has improved immensely since it was taken over and the whole magazine changed.
I love the Frog Eye Pic. that Saul sent in.

You should check out a book entitled "The MG File". It is 300+ pages of every car MG ever made.

Will it tell me who the idiot was that glued new fenders over top of the old ones on my GT Steve? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I doubt it, but now I'm curious... how do you glue a fender onto another fender?

Mucelage!

Ain't that a nasty tasting fibre drink?

I thought that was Metamucil? LOL

Re: MG Enthusiast Magazine MG RV8

Tony,
What do you think of the MG RV8 writeup on pgs 64 to 67? That is one awsome looking machine. Almost a flawless design from my opinion. Too bad only 200 were made.

It looked italian, but then who knows? (Doc does)

I'd be willing to help build RV8 # 201! I've got the Donor car, the desire, and a few of the skills needed... Who's got the parts and the money?

Should be no problem gathering up the needed funds and parts, then when it is time to pick a coloUr, you can enlist the help of Jaybird. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Was an RV8 replica at Grand Rapids last summer. I'll have to hunt for the pictures of it. Fine looking car.

Color? Easy. Mazda Shinka Black Cherry. What I would have painted Binabox had I (okay fine, we) not wanted to stay original.

Re: MG Enthusiast Magazine MG RV8

hehehehe... Non-original-RV8... I'd go Mazda RX8 blue. No doubts - unless I could get House of Kolor Kandy Cobalt Blue. With lightly ghosted (in the base color) MG logos in random inconspicuous areas of the car. hehehehehe /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Re: MG Enthusiast Magazine MG RV8

Just getting to the RV8 article...I tried to buy a wrecked one in Germany but got outbid

Nobody has made a replica that matches the RV8 yet that I know of - they either don't change the windshield or can't figure out how to do the cockpit surround or don't splurge for the 3-piece wheels....there's always something to point out it was an MGB to begin with!

That is just discusting.

Re: MG Enthusiast Magazine MG RV8

RV8 article was good but the article on the Y-Type Saloon reminded me of why I want one - 'want' nay 'need'!
