Hi, just thought I'd introduce myself here as a new member. I am the proud owner of a 1977 MGB Roadster 'MAGGIE', which I got as a retirement gift/hobby. This hobby has taken up more of my time and money than I care to admit but I do get a great deal of satisfaction from working on her. I have no background in mechanics whatsoever so everything I do is a steep learning curve so I will be consulting the oracles on this site on a regular basis. I apologise now for all the apparently silly questions I will ask in the future, but as I said, I have no mechanical experience whatsoever.
Cheers

Lavo
 
Hey - welcome to BCF!

Lavo: "This hobby has taken up more of my time and money than I care to admit but I do get a great deal of satisfaction from working on her"

Believe me, most of us feel the same way. It happened to me when I retired back in 2003 and got a 1975 MGB "Dorcas". I was a teacher and computer network manager; couldn't have done anything useful without the members here on BCF.

I've moved on from the MGB - a 1959 Triumph TR3, a 1958 Mercedes-Benz 220S, and now a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 190b. Learned (and broken) a lot over the years.

Please make use of the MG forum here. Lots of knowledge awaits.

PS - come to think of it, being in Wales, you might recognize the word Dorcas.

Thanks Tom. I actually only moved to wales last year after retiring from the Police so I'm afraid I have never heard of the word 'DORCAS' I assume it is welsh and that you have Welsh connections! I'm actually from Liverpool originally
 
Welcome Lavo,
As an American of Welsh descent, I admit that I know nothing of 'Dorcas" either, but I did enjoy my visit to Conway and Conway Castle over 35 years ago. Welcome to a great web home, and some of the best help on restoration of these LBC's you will find anywhere. Enjoy the ride!
 
Welcome to you, Lavo, and "Maggie" as well!

I see you are a retired police officer. One of our moderators, Steve, is a former Bobbie also.

:cheers:

Welcome to the Forum!
 
Thanks for the great welcome guys, I intend to make full use of the facilities available on this forum so you will probably be hearing from me regularly. It's nice to belong. Cheers
 
Welcome!

I've a '69 MGB. And I've never taken it above the speed limit, Sir!

Honest! :friendly_wink:
