14 INCH DETECTIVE posted:Look, bro, we're all friends here. And as a bro to bro, I gotta say, you need to man the gently caress up and do the right thing. Replace that water pump with this. I can't wait until my MGB inevitably pops its engine - I want to stick a Jag straight-six in and do the MGC as it ought to have been.

Local Resident posted:This and the Citroen DS are the coolest cars ever made. Most classic cars do involve saying to yourself "Ok, so by any possible metric apart from coolness and fun this is a terrible car, but those two factors make up for it a thousand times over." I can't understand why people form these classic car clubs for terrible droning adenoidal men who wear bomber jackets with their cars logo on and talk about keeping it out of the rain or the sun or the cold or anything. For a really good car like this then yes, common sense care of it is good, but for something like an MG, which was built for people who couldn't afford a Jaaaaag but wanted to drive like a hoon with exactly 1 (one) young lady and very little luggage, the train spotter crew really make me worried sometimes that people will associate me with them just because I drive the same car.

Cakefool posted:On the subject of original paint and wanky owners clubs, I was once passed at approx 100mph by a mk2 jag painted in gloss and matte checks, driven by a bloke who must have been eighty. I imagine he didn't give a poo poo what the owners club thought. I want to keep my MG until that age, and put in a stupid motor and paint it like a ned's trainer, then take it to an owner's club meeting.

Way2slow posted:I can only describe them. They are square blocks that have a multispoke gear that resembles a starfish sticking out the bottom. This gear catches the latch on the door frame and is supposed to hold. The passenger side does not catch all the time. Yeah, sounds like it. There's a cutoff at some point in the late 60's when modern latches that actually held the doors closed appeared on all British cars - it's so universal I almost wonder if it was a government rule.
