I guess I've been on this list for 4,5 years. We did used to have a
standard that we attempted to live up to. The Rule was : Any subject is
valid provided that in some manner, although tiny and obtuse, it pertained
to or could be connected to MGs. Granted some of us REALLY stretched but it
seemed to bring out a lot of creativity and was actually a lot of fun.
For example; My 1961, red MGA is presently parked next to my '87 Burgundy
J**p,whose tan pinstriping needs to be re-done. Anybody know where I can
find about 3/16" wide tan pinstriping tape for said vehicle? (Note: I
really am asking this question!!) Perhaps if we reverted to some form of
this type of listing, everyone would be pleased?
Cheers-
Don Mathis
p.s. I really do need the tape. All I can find is any color BUT tan. Thanks-
