  1. I wondered when this question was due for an update discussion.....????
  2. The architect claimed brake failure...........????
  3. Well yeh, cheap cars will always have a following as long as they are not called "Cow Ming Autos"....????
  4. They were very different lookers in the beginning.. Austin-Healey Sprite as the frog eyed BMC "A" series engined small sports car. The MG variant, the Midget, same thing but looked very different, more MGB like. Later they both looked the same as the Midget, and the Healey bit was gone, Austin Sprite...
  5. I think folk with Alzheimer's would know little about anything, unless you are an unfortunate sufferer that does..????
  6. MG was the mark of Morris Garages performance stuff, which stared way back. BMC bought it all up, Morris for their basic stuff and MG for the tweaked up basic stuff, not that BMC went particularly radical with the tweaking. Most of their offerings had an MG variant, except the Mini, the JC link with the Mini, though it did come back the Mini Metro.
  7. Then they should have included the MG performance thing....MG was always about tweaked engines, otherwise they were just a Morris, etc...
  8. Totally different thing, nothing to do with a cheap car production. I have a wheelbarrow, 2 years old, the bottom has rusted out, rubbish steel pressing.....????
  9. Regular servicing is a good idea for those who wanted to run a performance sports car back then. I had a 1964 MGB roadster, can't think of any major issues, the dynamo and its regulator were a bit tricky, but a bit of emery cloth sorted it...????
  10. Sorry, I have only quoted/made a quip. Please write your question again here..? Thank you....????
  11. I wonder what happened to the Brit MG performance thing then, they should be ashamed, but, I have no doubt the Chinese were pointing them in their direction, costs, survivability, etc....????
  12. "Brit Dynamic", hmmmm, weeeell, you have been no.1 for slagging off MG of the past, yet now we have "Brit Dynamic", not "Chinese Dynamic". ???? Purchases, I did mention that earlier, cheap car with the G.B. link, it must have ticked a lot of boxes..........????
  13. You missed the quip too....???? But, you tell me why the truck has a Union Jack on the tail gate with Brit written on it, I mean, it is a Maxus T70 with MG bling....? Now to me, it is a sales gimmick to sell a Chinese truck with the G.B. link, if it wasn't, they would be selling the Maxus T70 in LOS well before now, perhaps they do, but I have never seen one.......
  14. Correct, it also doesn't have a Chinese flag, where it is made, so why do you think this 100% Chinese truck has a Union Jack with Brit on it. ?
