Last August I acquired a '79 Midget. Seems like I spent most of the rest of
the summer waiting for a M/C. Didn't get a lot of driving in. However, the
car ran without incident. My confidence level is very high.
Now my question. Actually 2 questions.
1. When I open the petcock to allow water into the heater core, I get a
couple small puddles under the heater core. I think I rmemeber reading
somewhere that MGs are notorious for this. Is that true (the claim, not my
seeing it)?
2. I want to take it to the Twin Cities next year. That's about a 2 hr
drive from here. What should a guy pack, in terms of an emergency repair
kit, when setting out on the road? Hopefully by then I will have my list of
road helpers from NAMGBR, or somewhere else. I placed my name on the list.
I hope to get some fun miles in next year, if my wife lets ME get behind
the wheel.
