A little bit about me...
After owning 3 Jaguars (1976 XJ6, 1964 MkX (RHD), 1966 MkX), I spent about 5 years without a good project to work on. My father-in-law owns a 1931 Model A Deluxe Roadster and each time we're out, I get the itch to get something. At some point (Can anyone really say when) the MG bug bit. Fortunately, I live across the street from a paint and body shop, so that part should be easy.

| Adding Cruise Control | 2007-01-02 | 6 | I really had to argue with myself over adding cruise control to Nemo. I'm a purist at heart but I also take many long trips (6500 mi+ in the last 3 months) and cruise goes a long w... |
