Bump.

YES! That looks sweet and your having it sorted is excellent.

Please come up to Carlisle! I do plan to debut this build there and, as it happens, I’m also (sort of) in charge of this year’s “Speedsters Meet Spyders And TDrs” festivities. It’s shaping up to be quite a scene, and I am very much pulling to get a Full Compliment of my TD Replica brethren on the field.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t rain all day every…[Read more]

I also would like to see the car at Carlisle.  There are two of us here in Florida who are considering pulling our cars to Carlisle.  Please let us know when you get information.  Thanks.

Car was still running rough, so I took carb to an expert on Holley carbs and he rebuilt it and changed jets.  Also set timing by hand rotating engine to proper location.  Car is running much better now, has quite a bit of power.  Still a little hesitation at higher RPMs, maybe needs larger jets?  Anyway, it is time to really start using the car.

Why Ed,

Lookin’ good!!  I would definitely put in the floor and the seat and sit in the car for at least an hour while you make “VROOM VROOM” sounds and pretend to be driving the car around one of the world’s most challenging race tracks!!

Great work!!  Can’t wait to see the finished product at Carlisle next year!

Cheers

Happy Jack

Hey Folks —

New Bern, NC is still in the “clean up” mode —  Here’s a great video showing what our storm-ravaged town is dealing with — thanks to Royal for finding and forwarding this link —

Living on the coast, we get a lot of fog and I drive at night, all the time…And when it’s sunny, it’s real sunny!!!

When it’s hard to see…I just tie a white stick with a red tip to the front bumper and get around much better! LOL!

In my case, the top is almost always down, except when it rains so the sun visors would be little help for…[Read more]

Glad to hear all are well!

Tried the MG Magic visors with and without my aviator sun glasses yesterday and in the early evening. Visors and sunglasses worked about the same except the aviator sunglasses give me more definition. So going to stick with sunglasses. Can’t say about fog because it very seldom gets foggy out in my area of Georgia.

Allen, I didn’t mean to mislead you.  The only time I wear the the yellow lenses is at night to cut down on headlight glare!

Regarding the MG Magic sun visors, I have used them in the latter part of the day, driving toward the sun with my regular sun glasses.  Frankly, they are not very effective, but they help. To be honest, I have never dri…[Read more]

Greggs. Are you saying wear the yellow tinted lenses and look through the MG Magic sun visors? Wondering what that would look like? I normally wear my prescription aviation sun glasses, even in the fog, and it helps quite a bit. Haven’t mounted the MG Magic sun visors yet. Perhaps today. Mine are the dark green. I’ll have to mount them and give…[Read more]
