iang Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Wish I'd kept this one: Sold it in 1982 for the current market value of four Wingnut Gotha IVs. See how I got the thread back on track, there? BiggTim, RLWP, Kagemusha and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 My young fools car was a 1971 MG Midget. Ran great until it rusted out. Fun it was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is 1972 - well 71 as it was registered on Jan 1st. I've had her for 35 years. She has an unfortunate habit of going off the road for ten year stretches, she's hopefully coming to the end of her latest one Richard Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I was not trying to be flippant, I was actually asking, as I normally dont go to the WnW site. Besides, If this thread got locked for no reason, another would pop up in its place and end up this exact same way........at least until actual facts are known, so no it wont be locked unless it actually goes off the rails. Looks like it's back to sleep for me at 1:00 in the afternoon! esarmstrong and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I absolutely agree 100%, Ron, a little thread drift (especially if a subject thread has no real news anyway), has been fun and a nice distraction from what has otherwise become a sort of boring and depressing routine for many of us. This provides a bit of a release for many, and was never intentional. I find it all rather amusing. Out2gtcha and LSP_Ron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually owned any spectacular cars, though I did briefly have a '57 Ford Skyliner, and that was pretty cool. This, of all the various cars that I did own, was my all-time favorite; 1995 Cougar XR7. LSP_Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Well as we all know, Out of the Box just doesn't cut it anymore.... So minor upgrade in the braking department. Going fast is easy, STOPPING is the critical element! Out with the old.... In with the new... 6 piston Brembos. The old front brake pads are now the size of my rear brake pads. The fronts are now about 2x larger. Not my helmet there, by the way! Kagemusha, Dpgsbody55, blackbetty and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, and you are right - after market stuff applies to cars too (no whitemetal suspension legs though) My Midget sits on lowered springs, with telescopic dampers and MGB front brakes Richard LSP_K2 and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
