Re: what have you done on your mgf today?

I've been trying to adjust the hood clamps.

It's not the adjuster, it closes well, but it seems the clamps don't fit in the hooks very well, like they are too far out. If that makes sense.

Re: Someone STOP me...

Twenty years ago we stripped the Spitfire of a friend of mine, and he almost gave up on it.

I've welded in over 10 square feet of sheet metal in the little red bastard. We spent all summer on it.

He still owns it, and me thinks he'll be buried in it.

Thanks Colin,

I tried to subscribe there, but no luck so far, no response to my subscription with the same handle I use here.

Could you maybe contact the Admin of the Belgian forum for me?

Re: Dutch bloke bought dream car.

Sorry Jaap, the hats are from AlieX, the blinkers are second hand, bought them off eBay.

I do know Fontech can deliver new ones in NL/B.

Re: Potential mgf owner

The cheapest ones usually turn out to be the most expensive ones. It's been sitting there rusting for three years, most sealings of the bearings will start leaking etc. I'd be very careful, just the slave cylinder is not an expensive repair, if it's left to rot outside there are usually other, bigge...

Dutch bloke bought his dream car.

Good evening all. I'm from that tiny swamp across the waters to the east. Married, father of two boys and,as an early birthday present for my 50th birthday, I finally bought the car that stole my heart when it was introduced some 23 years ago. The last of the Mohicans, the pinnacle of British engine...
