MGB NEED YOUR ADVICE ON MY BRAND NEW [OLD] MGB

[Naomi]

I just purchased a 1974 chrome bumper MGB that has been sleeping for 4 years. I've talked to Tony Barnhill (my pal) and printed out his advice/checklist. I'd love to hear what others have to offer to help me wake up my little car and not do damage to it. Your turn now!

Give it a name Talk to it gently. and be sure to stroke the valve cover softly.
if it likes you it will respond

i Have Read Tony's list..not much to add to that

 

[tony barnhill]

Naomi....welcome...as a true Southern lady, you'll add charm & grace to what is otherwise a ruthless brawl!

Welcome to the 'other side'!!! You already read what I thought, right?? You know where the 'experts' are, right??

Welcome Naomi to the Forum...I'd love to hear what others have to offer to help me wake up my little car and not do damage to it. Your turn now!

First you need to ask your question in the Healey Forum...cause that's where all the really "smart" guys hang out...

...SilentUnicorn - you just found the perfect last thing I need to add to my checklist....may I borrow that phrase? &, you said there wasn't anything to add!

But she drives MGs. You guys would just tell her to sell it and buy a real moneypit

 

[Henri]

You know...you guys have it easy...there is only one of me (and before you say it...thank god)...and there are three, four, five of you...I get absolutely no help in keeping you guys in line...

Not that I need it...just an observation...

[Guest]

you'll just have to get more of the Healey crowd to come slumming with you

 

[Henri]

Why do you think I meandered over to the MG Board...no one over there wants to play...

 

[tony barnhill]

or we could go over there!

 

[Guest]

that would make them nervous

 

[Henri]

I think Dave Russell (another Healey owner) already summed up his feelings... <blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr>we need another board call BS<hr></blockquote>...so don't even think about it...

 

[Gary Lloyd]

I went there and Henri tuned me up!!! It was funny!! They just don't joke like MG guys!!

 

[Guest]

way to make a guy feel welcome Henry

 

[Henri]

Anything that I can do to make "Gary" feel welcomed...

After all...Mi Casa Es Su Casa...

 

[Gary Lloyd]

Oh sure Henri!!! What is your e-mail address??

 

[SilentUnicorn]

Tony help your self

Naomi, now did you REALLY need another MG site on which to spend your time?

You can post your web sig on this site, too, by the way. Go to "My Profile" then to "View/Update Profile."
