MG
The Classic Marque

I agree Steve. My three MGs are owned for the fun of driving them - not as investments (my wife handles that and has done quite well, thankyou). I go to shows to support our local clubs and local charities but that's not where the fun is. The fun is heading up Highways 178 and 215, over the Blue Ridge Parkway and staying on steep and twisty roads. Except for the getting there, we rarely go ove...

Prices are dropping on all classics at the moment. The global economy isn't in a great place and people aren't spending on this stuff. It will rebound eventually as it always does. In the meantime, enjoy the chance to buy your favorite cars at reasonable prices!

When prices drop, I'm usually the first one cheering. Right now most people on this forum can't afford a twin cam. If they drop ...

A good condition 1956 Roadster just went on Mathewsons a few minutes ago for £11,600 plus commission. That's probably less than half the price than those early days after Covid.

This calls for a song. Lol.

Actually there's a debate about the lyrics in this being about irony at all. 😆

In that link it points out that, the song being devoid of irony, is in fact because of t...

Gary,
They tell me I am feeling better but I am not convinced.

My Sprite rear left indicator bulb packed up a while ago. I didn't have a spare, so reverted to the time honoured hand signal you describe Guy. Like you, I used them a lot when first driving.

They're still part of the highway code. You'd assume people know that.

But that didn't stop a couple of arses giving me a horn blast and fo verbal, as they passed me.

I returned the compl...

Same here-Prices of A's have stalled, MGB's have dropped dramatically, although a really good, not necessarily original car can still attract buyers-
Surprises me that Twin Cam didn't get a buyer Nick, looks a fairly tidy car in the pic. but then that $26000us is about $40000aud here then another $5000+ to get it here and stuff so $45000 would be a decent buy here still for a car like that,it'...

Thanks Paul I'll read in detail.
In a quick read on one of those links it said Ford and Delco units polarize in a different manner and if you use the wrong method it wont charge. I'll see if I can find out the correct method.

Thanks

Having read this thread earlier, and then driving to Scotland, I realised I always cancel indicators manually even on my modern self cancelling cars. It hadnt really occurred to me before that i do this, I think because way, way back in the distant past when learning to drive, that is what one did. That and hand signals too! The hand signalling I have abandoned, but still flick the indicator switc...
