About: I guess I'm one of the "old" guys on this site. I am the 40. I've got a wife and 2 sons. We live in the country and due to finances have a serious DIY mentality. We homeschooled the kids for years. Last year, my oldest boy moved away (at 17) to become an aviation mechanic. If all goes well, he'll have his A&P certification later this year. My youngest boy decided to give public school a go, but may try to split his education by taking college courses at night. My degree is in Ministry (because I have an overactive conscience). My wifes' degree is in Art (because she thinks poverty is cool). I have worked in the professional protection (private security) industry for over 10 years. I also work with a small non-denominational churche. Before that I was a missionary in the mountains of New Guinea for about 7 years. I speak Melanesian Pidgin (fluently), read Koine Greek (poorly), and stumble through French. I've owned over 40 motorcycles in the last 20 years as well as a few unusual cars,('70 MGB, volcano damaged Mercedes, '85 Vette, '62 Land Rover, '70 VW fastback, etc), but I really want to get my pilots' license and a small plane. My oldest son may be getting one later this year, if the finances are there. I have a history of blowing stuff up, burning stuff down and a few spectacular vehicle mishaps (I ran over myself with the '62 Land Rover). Politically I'm a Constitutionalist/ Libertarian, (ie- votewaster), with a strong opposition to governmental interference in private matters. My Christianity is of the "old school" variety, searching for the best way to apply the teachings (and lifestyle) of Christ in a modern world. Admittedly, it is easier said than done!
THat was great! ANd the car in the picture looks a lot like my old '70. Man I miss that car. My Vette is fun, but you could really feel the road in those old MGs. It was truly like a big boys go-cart.
Are they a fast car at all? From the engine not how small the body style? I am just glad that wasn't real, those "MSV's" that he was talking about in the story just sounded like pieces of junk.
Most of them weren't all that fast. But they did make a MGBGT with a V8. And I think there was an MGC with a 6-cyl. Mostly they were just fun because they were light, pretty good handling, easy to work on, and open topped (except the GT models).
Yeah, that would make a good swap. For a while a lot of people were dropping in GM V-6s. They were reasonably light but in the 200 bhp neighborhood. But a rotary could be even better. For anything heavy though, people had to really build up the front suspension, and still lost handling abilities.
In that photo you look so much like my mate sam I had to wonder, you with long hair and a bit extra belly, odd thing is he's 18 but looks older than you...
