I have no idea what all you old guys are talking about! 

I might bid on that, but like I said, they usually go high. If someone here already wants it why not call dibs so we’re not impoverishing each other over this?

I’m still pondering it. I think I might like your road better. Gimme a week to think on it. November. Wow.e

We’re showing our age here guys.

Running 17 wouldn’t be a problem. Coming south on 83 to Baltimore where wouldwe hook up with you?PM me a copy of route from Mapquest or something. Let me see where we’re going.

The only shell I could find when mine got folded in half was more than twice that price.All I got was a slightly damaged outer shell.

Transmission fluild also works well.Hold at a higher RPM and pour slowly down the carb.Best recomended on an old back country road as it will produce alot of smoke.

Used faucet water on the old chebby deux when she developed a knock that one time after I’d banged through the gears at 5000 rpm–course this was AFTER we’d dropped the pan and pulled the main & rod caps.

Very cool. Notice more “The Red Car” likes in the comments. That book could’ve been commissioned by Nuffield.

Jeez, Bill, 13 wasn’t even on my map. That’s 270 miles and 6:20. With a substantial pile of tolls.I’ve done part of it & the road through Dover isn’t so bad.U.S. 17 South is the no-highway route I had. 10 miles shorter but four minutes longer. Tolls that way too.

It’s mostly car show, John, but they have a vender section over near the pit beef. I recall about a dozen stalls.

Ed -are the  many  used MG TD parts vendors there.. or is it just a car show?

I’m in.  Lets get some more of “us” to go.  See you there.
