[Spridgets] Automatic transmission

[Macy Larry]

The BMW also has the advantage of being the same swap that was done "back in the day" making it more authentic. Look around you will find lots of T series MG's with BNW engines in them.


PS
Now with old/new email addy. - I couldn't get my Philly MG Club email at work and never had time to read the list at night. So I was not participating as much as I liked and I missed it, so I moved my list over to this addy and "I'm Back!!"

Any small RWD engine with an automatic transmission will do; she does not care.

The bottom line: Sure, there's pain in adopting the Mac. But if I accept
that, I get to use a computer that works, and that pretty much does what I
expect and want a computer to do.
