Hi Ron - thanks for the welcome. My Mk2 is actually of the Jaguar variety, and
at times I wish it were of the MG variety.
Cheers

Hi Robin and welcome. I
remember meeting you at the start of one of our
rides recently. I hope you
can get that Mk2 on the road soon. My car
needs the company of another
MGA! There are a half dozen or so in the
club that rarely make an
appearance.
