Yeah same. But I like calling them and this time I couldn’t reach them. Weird.

OK I got a room. Weirdly, I could not get anyone to pick up the phone there over two days.

Yes, MG Magic would be my first suggestion for lights and grille. With the fenders, give repairing them a shot. Fiberglass is not that difficult to work with. I have redone mine several times over the years. While flat towing in the wet I jack knifed it and destroyed everything forward of the windshield. A few weeks of work and it’s hard to tell…[Read more]

OK! It’s on!
Over the years this event has become an annual event for several members. We would really like to see more members add this event to their calendars. Rockstar parking and they group us all on the tarmac in front of the hangers. In years past we have all stayed at the Oceanfront Hotel on the…[Read more]

If you have a London Roadster built on a VW platform you very likely have a VW Bug steering box, not a rack & pinion setup like an MG TD or a Pinto,

I’ve gone and blocked more countries as the junk keeps coming in.
If you are an actual person and seeing that you are blocked, please just drop us an email at the admin account, and we will unblock your location. I’m going to leave it to you to search for the admin email on the site as “proof” you are a person.

I gave in and paid for us to get “upgraded” security with our wordfence plugin. The number of crummy logins today finally got to me. There’s usually a handfull each day where nefairous actors try to log in to non-existant accounts and exploit the system. This morning there were ~40. Hopefully this upgrade will slow that down a bit.I’ve also… -

I race my V8 TD and often remove the windshield while doing so. Wind buffeting is much less with it off and just running a Brooklands. Don’t know if that is an option for you.

Congrats on the new whip, Bill.
Some guys have made behind-the-seat wind screens like you see on Boxsters and such to ameliorate the reverse blow-through you experience in open cars at speed.
This is a bit of an arts and crafts project but very simple in principle, and reasonably effective.
My solution is to stay off the interstate highways,…[Read more]

This might be more coherent.
First you go to your own thing. Upper right corner it should say something like “Howdy, Happy Jack.” Click on that and you get a drop-down menu. At the bottom it says “media.” Hover over that with your curser and you should see another drop-down menu with “albums,” “photos” “videos.” Click on “photos.”
That shou…[Read more]

Too dang hot here now for a drive. Setting aside the fact my carburetor is poorly adjusted. Looks like you had a good hill climb!

It seems no one has posted anything in weeks. Here goes…How I spent the weekend of June 21-22.
We started with fantastic weather. A bit warm but ok. Sunday at lunch the rain started. Intermittent showers that varied in intensity. Luckily, my run group had just finished and were returning to our pits.
Here is a run from Saturday morning. The…[Read more]

edward ericson replied to the topic Carpet in the forum General Discussion 3 months, 1 week ago
I bought a roll of black marine carpet from Lowes or Home Depot. On part of the floor it’s laid over 1/2-inch foam padding, the rest it’s glued on with 3M Super 77. Real TDs all had black low pile carpet from the factory (not loop pile, no edge bindings) so this method is actually pretty “period correct” as well as being stupid-cheap.
