For those of us Roadsterites with no support group locally, this is our line
of communication.

No offense was taken but sometimes there are other issues other than
technical advice/problems to be discussed, including jokes to lighten up our
lives a bit.

While I belong to an MGB club and the guys really enjoy my car, there are
still no people to discuss the Roadster with , although yesterday I did meet
several people who did own one and still wish they did.

I heard that several members really get pissed when I discuss the Roadster
and not talk about MGs exclusively. FWIW, I probably know more about MGs and
British cars than most of the members do. I love all sports cars no matter
where they come from.

Mike
