What's MCSC..no never mind, I'm calling Gary in the AM. I drove an Escalade today for an hour, I feel like a man destined for some severe punishment just because I told it that my Buick had a better ride.

MCSC = MINI Cooper S Convertible.

Why would you be calling Gary?

When we got a rental that was the choice and I took the Kia. With the AC on it was the most gutless slushbox I've ever driven.

What's this...MOP has loaners now???? It is the one thing keeping me from 100% satisfied with them...

...and I see a junk Kia as FUN. How hard is it to get it up on two wheels¿

Why are Red Sox fans such name callers? First, it's Jeter this and Jeter that, now it's a fine catcher. This is all theater just waiting for the Fenway series this month which, btw, is as close to a series as the sox ever get.

Hey, I'm just quoting a t-shirt. Bukkake Matsui, A Rod is an A Hole, Posada is a Little

. Lighten up old timer.

Just because you were alive the last time they won doesn't mean you have to rain on our parade.

BritBits in Rye, NH is probably the best one if you're looking for a car honoring the Prince of Darkness. They usually have a few of their own up for sale as well as a classified section. Mark is a really nice guy and will probably be at the British Invasion again this year.

Abingdon Spares here in Walpole specializes in T-Series MG parts and also has a few for sale.

There's also Sports Car Services over in Westminster, VT. Mainly a service/repair place but they do have a rubber-bumper '77 MGB up for sale.

This site also has lots of stuff that may be more to your liking.

And don't forget the British Marque classifieds.

Anybody else get the feeling after reading Ian's page that he might baker his "too early" sentiments, and trade up for an '05? Remember when he all of a sudden posted a picture of his Works badge? I was stunned!

I probably wouldn't mind taking a slight loss on the car and the pulley/intake but it all just seems like too much of a hassle...I only have 30k miles on it anyway.

Ah OK. I'm considering doing the driving school there with the bmw sca next spring. Driving is much more fun than looking. That's what TVs are for.
