<p dir="ltr">I hate to blow your curve and I know I don't post much but I will be 42 in January. I got my first MG at the age of 30 and I let my last modern car go about five years ago. My wife drives a newer car but I drive my '72 GT in nice weather and my my '63 International Scout when it rains. </p>

Re: [Thelist] New Member <br><br>
<div style="FONT-SIZE:12pt;FONT-FAMILY:arial;COLOR:#000000">
<div>Hey Racer Steve ("RS"?) -</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your racing pedigree deserves respect, and
you have mine! ' Never raced. ' Did a bit of autocrossing many
years ago - only to discover that under pressure of competition, I lose
all respect for the machine, and just run it balls to the wall. '
Surprised I didn't destroy my poor old '73 B/GT; but I did learn that I
have the wrong temperament for competitive driving. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>We have some inventory in common: I'm
putting my '65 B together. It was a basketcase I bought in '89, and
it has yet to see the road. A few other projects intervened, including my
'57 ZBV Magnette. ' Have never had a TF but did have a TD for several
years. Like you, age has been an increasing factor. I still can get
up and down from my creeper a dozen times per hour while working on the
MGs, but with age 76 coming up in a couple weeks, can't help but wonder
how long this will last. I'm having to adjust my attitude: if I can
do it today, that's all I need to know. Once I finish the '65, the
'60 A 1600 and the '69 C/GT are next. I'll be darned if my long
range plans should be limited by my long range prognosis (and even that
looks pretty good). I've known guys restoring these cars well into their
90s - why give up 15 years short of that? Nevertheless, old age
sucks, as I'm sure you'll agree. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>OK, so my B/GT is a '73, but I do have a
'69 C/GT. OK, not even close, but I got the year right, and I love
the car. It's been lurking in the back of my shop for seven years, but
recently, courtesy of Robert Kirk, it has brakes! Drives great
around the yard. A few new switches and I can at least drive
it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the meantime, my recently-restored
Magnette keeps presenting me with nagging new and continuing
problems. Clutch is leaking down internally, so I've got an M/C
problem. Not really major, except I'm not looking forward to pulling
the damn thing. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the meantime, my daily-driver '73 GT has
a cracked head - again... I've run it on the cracked head for
perhaps a year. It really runs well. Fast enough to put the
proverbial smile on my face, but I have to address that head! And
since I'm thinking of something akin to a Burgess econotune head, I think
I'll have to go through the bottom end again too. ' Rebuilt the whole
thing back in '92 but oil pressure doesn't go to 75# any more...
There's a bit of magic going on in this old cracked head. ' Have no
idea what it is, but don't want to lose it in the replacement. '
Might pick your brain a bit if you don't mind.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>At any rate, welcome again! So glad
to see new folks respond so quickly. ' Look forward to your presence
on the list.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Allen</div>

<div>Wow! Appears you guys are really MG fans, a really good thing.</div>
<div>In the early 70's I raced one of the E Production Huffaker MGB’s in
the Cal .Club region of the SCCA, so how about “Racer Steve?”</div>
<div>My first car was a 1955 TF, which I still have. We're in the process
of getting it back together after way too many years of “rest.”</div>
<div>I also have a ‘65 MGB that I built up while working at Huffaker
Engineering. It's overdue for a freshening up, a ‘69 BGT that needs a
complete restoration, a “55 ZA Magnetite that's in line after the TF, and
I’m almost done with my “62 Mini Countryman. I just hope I live long
enough to get them all done and don't run out of $$$.</div>
<div>Looking forward to meeting everyone on the “List.”</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>Racer Steve</div>
<div>PS: I also raced a Formula Atlantic car way back then, and more
recently a “65 Mini Cooper S and a Turner MKIII that I just sold. Probably
won’t race any more due to back and shoulder problems (too dam old!)</div>
