As above, welcome to the forum.

Absolutely love your MG, what a beautiful machine.

Also totally in tune with your attitude to other technology as it happens, my mobile phone isn't as old as yours but it's not far off! I think we're going to get on fine on here..... :D :D
Some people are like Slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.

Hi I'm Chris

I have a Range Rover Classic 1985.

First , sort of, classic car in years having previously owned an MG midget and a Triumph Dolomite.

This is first time I have had opportunity to work on a car at home.

The Rangie belonged to a customers father and had been laid up In a barn for 13 years.

A complete novice but have enjoyed learning how to fix it up. The odd day here and there, and evenings when work free and it's not raining, and I'm nearly at its MOT time. Just need to sort few electrical niggles....

Welcome to the forum :)
It's good to have another RRC owner on board.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Thank for welcome, hopefully soon, will be another RRC on the road too!

Finally found an auto electrician who was prepared to come out and have a look. Coming next Thursday and if good I will add his name to forum.

Hi all, new here and have read practical classics for a while. At present I don't have a car (due to being 15) however plan on getting a 1958 ford pop 100e as my first car. Just got to figure out where to store it! :D

Welcolme Jamie. I imagine you've just bought the average age of this forum down considerably! :D
