A bit of both. B What I really wanted to do was bring cars home! B Rui is really busy at work, with family and with his hobby - Ferrari restoration. B Still, I'm sure he'll give us the reference for the Porto MG shop. B 

However, we may be able to get Rui to go select various parts from their boxes, as long as we don't get excessive with our requests.

Hello Friends,

In an earlier note, I made reference to the number of fantastic MGs in
Porto, Portugal, as well as mention of a restoration shop with
zillions of parts.B  The place was just astounding!B  Here are some
photos to back up those claims.

First up are just some pictures of T-Series cars (etc.) in various
states of restoration / preservation starting with a beautiful
competition car at '2013 Boavista'...

And finally, a period poster from their shop proclaiming, "The new MG
Midget - A man's car."B  This art appeals to my despise of political
correctness. :-P
