Yes you are all correct.
This country have the most useless drivers.They pass the test then make up their own rules.
I bet there are a lot of people on this site, who could not pass again!
Am I  Correct.........? Look At Yourselves???????????

   My main driver aid is autotransmission
   As I got older I have no desire to
   shift gears any longer

   Still waiting for that 100mpg carburator
   I keep hearing about

It will never catch on.The petrol companies would  go bust if we did not keep filling up our tanks.Economies would collapse,but i am all for going 100 miles on a gallon
They say they have a light bulb which lasts a lifetime,but can you buy one no.

   Read somewhere that a major car company
   in the 20's or 30's had to redesign their
   transmissions because they was built too
   good,they wouldn't break

I'm starting to restore a 1275 MG Midget Mk III. It was built in 1970, but designed in the 1950's with the latest in 1930's technology. Has there been any progress since it was built?

Being a Yank, yes, I am trying to put a cup holder in it.

I am sure they will have all the updates you require for a rebuild project,with regards to spares etc.
I have not driven one in years,but i did prefer the Triumph GT6 over the MG.

I am sure a cup holder will not test you at all? Providing you can find the room.

Thanks, Stig. I'll need all the help I can get. This is my first foray into British cars. It's sitting in my garage next to a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500. I have a Ford 460 hanging on my engine stand waiting to go into the Ford. It has lead to many jokes about the engine, the MG and a lot of KY.

If I need more space, I think the MG will fit in the trunk of the Ford!

Best of luck with the project,older cars can be a pig to work on.My mate is having trouble with the gearbox on his TR4 it looks as though it has been hammered onto the spline.......
The joys of renervating cars...
