I hope I have sufficiently gained enough computer skills that I am able
to come forward and thank all of you on the list for your unknowing help
and encouragement. In the late "60's" I got my first MG. It was bought
out of the back row of a BMC dealers lot in Arlington, Va. Because of
that car, I met two of the best friends I have ever had. Unfortunately
that car is gone and I lost contact with Carol and John after I got out
of the service. My love of MG's actually started when I was about 14 or
15 years old though. My Uncle Red showed up at our house with a red MGA
Twincam that he had just bought. It was love at first sight. Almost 40
years later I can still see and hear that car when ever I want to call
back the memory. Finally this past August, I purchased a 1975 MGB.
Since then, I have been trying to resurrect "Red" (actually Tahitian
Blue?) on a limited time and dollar budget. Two weeks of evenings and
weekends just to sort out wiring. I won't continue with the DPO stories
at this time, but you all know how some of our cars have been
mistreated. I just wish I could meet Barney Gaylord, Bud Krueger, Paul
Hunt, Skye Porter and all the many people who respond to this list and
share their knowledge and skills.
