I had previously posted about a minor accident I had with my MGTDR. I was driving down one of our local streets when the steering wheel no longer steered the front wheels and I wound up hitting a traffic signal pole.

I am glad you are OK – That could have been very bad- I saw your post on my phone a couple of days ago and it prompted me to check mine – thanks for that.

TIA

My TDR is built on a 1972 VW and needed to meet requirements for same. I live in Illinois in a area subject to emission testing. For years I would have to detune it, take it in to have my tail pipe sniffed, go home and retune for driving. With the advent of computerized controls, they now just connect to the under dash connector to verify ev…[Read more]

There hasn’t been much discussion of Carlisle 2018. Bought my tickets back in December. Is the Speedster Owners Group blocking rooms at the Courtyard by Marriott, 4921 Gettysburg Road, Mechanicsburg PA?
