This month's Picture of the Month is of an unknown Y.
A new Link has been added to access the collective writings of the late Dave DuBois. Dave was a gifted technician who started driving MG sport cars early on, and never ceased driving them as his family's "Daily Drivers". Over the years he used his experiences in the Navy Yards of Bremerton, WA, to bring simple fixes to some of the perplexing problems of our cars, mostly related to electrical contacts, fuel pumps and safety. He became world famous as the go-to guy for SU fuel pump restoration. His writings though cover much more and are very relevant to our cars as well as other MGs.
