> Wow! Roland, you must have one large garage.

Rick, actually, but that doesn't matter. I have a three car garage at home.
That was my only requirement for a house when we moved to Houston. Nancy
did the rest. when I retired I leased a space into which I use as a shop.
Its 25' x 60' with tall electric garage doors on both ends. It will fit
eight cars but there are six three now. Highlander and MG live at home us
the fun car d'jour. The rest are at the shop.

Welcome Michael!

=20

Good taste that GT!

I own a February 1971 BGT ex-Calif w/o overdrive colored in New Racing =
Green with chromed wire wheels.

Attached a picture made during our holidays in the UK some years ago.

I live in the Netherlands, work as a Sr. ICT Infrastructure Architect =
(Sr. because the color of my hair=E2=80=A6) and am looking forward to my =
retirement over 6 months, though I=E2=80=99m asked to proceed working =
for one or two days a week.

The GT has been exported to the Netherlands early 1990 and I bought it =
on May 2nd that year.

The GT was solid, but warn out in many aspects.=20

As we have a 4 kids family, it took me 10 years to get it road worthy =
and titled.=20

Quite an adventure for someone, who never did such a big job on a car =
before.

But this list, of which I=E2=80=99m a member since 1993, helped me =
enormously all these years.

In 2000 and 2006 I went to the Boston area for business meetings and =
asked the list whether there was interest in a MG meeting.

Both times we got together with a nice group of listers in the oldest =
inn of USA, where Longfellow wrote his poems.

In 2011 I came to Colorado Springs, where again I met and toured with a =
group of classic car owners.=20

Also in 2011 I went for holidays to England, where I met Paul Hunt and =
the heritage Museum.

So this list also is for making friends!

=20

Besides my GT, I also own several classic Puch mopeds, which were cult =
amongst the youngsters in the sixties and seventies.

I sold the one which always was used by my wife in summertime, but she =
cannot ride it anymore because of her health.

It was a good investment, as the value tripled in 10 years.

Still three Puch mopeds left, where one is exactly like the one I bought =
new on May 30th 1970 and the vin only differs 6 digits!

All Puch mopeds have been dismantled totally for a ground up =
restauration and with nice weather it is great touring on these little =
bikes.

=20

My early 1971 GT has the hornpush on the boss steering wheel.=20

The stalk one you have was fashion in the late sixties on the British =
cars, as I can remember it from my 1966 Ford Cortina.

=20

Cheers,

Hans

=20

     I would like to let the list know I'm here.  Some of you may know =
me from the Spridget or Healey lists.  I just bought a 69 MGB GT.  I =
have owned several MGs in the past, but my last one was a 66 MGB with =
electric overdrive and a factory hardtop.  This car did not have first =
or reverse.  It only cost $350, but this was back in the 80s. =20

     I have been trying to figure our switches and knobs in the GT and =
which ones work.  Complete surprise to me the horn is activated in the =
turn signal stalk!  Raining today, but I have not checked the wipers =
yet.  The bugaboo I encountered on the way home from buying this car was =
the tachometer.  It would shut off when you turn on the headlights.  If =
you turn off the panel lights, it comes back on.  Not looking forward to =
figuring this one out.

   I am a retired locomotive engineer with a military flight engineer =
retirement also.  Lots of time to play with this new toy.  Hello and =
happy holidays to all on this list.

Welcome, Mike..... Great looking GT.

I have 2 B's, a '76 that is usually a runner but needs some carb work (this
year for sure) and a '65 that is a long-term restoration project (another
thing I need to get back to this year).

I'm semi-retired - left IBM< after 38 years in mid-2017 and am now a
Realtor. Spent the past couple of years getting the business up and running
but really miss driving the '76B.
