Well said Paul!  What you describe is "the Walmart
model".  That is, bring the big boy in, cut prices and
include a pile of loss-leaders and voila!, you've
driven all the local businessmen out of business! 
Let's not let that happen to mgs at autox.team.net!

BTW, I've been making good progress on the '70 MGB
Split-bumper Tourer.  The front grill, lighting and
bumper are finished.  I still have a little wiring
issues to iron out.  I cleaned and rewired the lights
and harness correctly and now the turn signals don't
work.  However, the turn signals were mis-wired when I
got the car and I have identified an ugly mess of
splices upstream from the front harness (in the engine
bay).  That's where, I'm sure, I will find the
problems.  I know the under-dash part is right because
I rewired all of that when I rebuilt the dash.

Today, I hope to find a little time to clean the
right-front suspension in preparation for repainting
and the reassembly of the axle/wheel bearing/hub and
brakes.  That will leave me with only the right-rear
axle to rebuild.  I know it has a leaking oil seal and
I have the replacement in the "new parts" box.

On other fronts: 
(1) Haven't touched the Ferrari for many weeks. 
That's a sin.

(2) Sold my M-B SL500 to my brother for his wife. 
She's wildly excited - and rightly so.  That is a
fantastic car!

(3) I just bought a new M-B "C300 Luxury" for my daily
driver.  Its not a powerful as the SL500 but being 10
years newer technology, it handles better.

(4) In under two weeks, my son gets home from college
for the holidays!

(5) Christmas is soon to be upon us!

Best regards and happy motoring to all,

Rick
