Re: MGA Coupe Racer (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 17:53:42 EDT; Larry - the only problem with coupes is that they are heavier (and therefor slower) and you can't take all that much out of them. Otherwise they do look nice, and were the car of choice for long dist; /html/mgs/2002-08/msg00925.html (8,693 bytes)

Re: Websites (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 18:06:59 EDT; 80% of websites are trying to sell you something or otherwise part you from your money - what they say is always suspect.

Re: Lights (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 18:09:01 EDT; You can beat any red light ticket if you can prove that a car heading for the intersection at the speed limit would not be able to stop (using an average reaction time), before the light went red.

Re: Driving philosophies (score: 1): Author: WSpohn4@aol.com; Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 14:19:22 EDT; In BC, when you see a yellow light, you are to stop "unless the stop can not be made in safety".
