Ya know that the last paragraph of the above really sums up the whole thing
with MG's! We all have our personal preferences when it comes to our cars.
Some won't drive except when the sun is high in the sky others drive all
year round. Some like webers others prefer SU's so lets all just continue
to share info and experiences of keeeping these cars on the road.
