Great video Bill. And great driving!

I really like the camera placement. Perfect view. And you appear to have worked out the engine/road noise vs wind noise balance!

That’s our man Ed. Always working in the shadows. Or is that lurking? I’m never quite sure!

As always, thank you for your hard work on our behalf!

I’ve no problem with the name change to “MG TD Replica Car Club”.

While the primary membership has been owners, we have always had “fans” and “seekers” here.

Stephen,

So happy to see you spending time on your TDr…and not spending all your time working on the TD website!

Kudos!

That’s terrific news Stephen!

Congratulations!

Stephen,

I love your car’s color!

Are the LED taillights split between turn signal, and running/brake light?

And does your stock turn signal switch still work? Or did you have to replace it?

Stephen,

I have one. It’s huge. I have not had the time to get it scanned to PDF.

Ah. Got it.

Sorry. I interpreted “liner” as something to put in the tank.

Back to your regularly scheduled program. Hope some other CMC owners are able to help.

Welcome back!!!

Allen,

What problem are you trying to solve with a liner?

What kind of gas tank? VW?

FWIW… I’ve never seen a “liner” for a VW tank. And I’m not coming up with a pretty picture, trying to imagine how one would install it. I have seen POR15 used as a tank sealant, after the tank is properly cleaned.

Sounds like power is getting to the starter. I vote either the solenoid is bad, or the starter itself. But I’m far from an expert!
