What happened Luxobarge was ...

I parked my MGB on the road opposite my mum and dads and my stepdad reversed into it, about two days later I was in a spin on the dual carriageway and broke my car myself as well a bit :( really unlucky week. I have driven the same stretch of road many times before ...

I must admit after a weekend of feeling sorry for myself I have come out of it with a more chipper attitude - and a flipping cold as well :P

I love the MG and wouldnt really want it to go so I think!!! Im going to keep her - tidy for now with a bit of bending and maybe try that hair dryer technique ...

I love some of the adverts that you come across these days, anything that is crusty and been under tarp around the back for a few decades is a 'Barn Find'.
Also
does anyone actually buy minis these days, the price of them is a complete joke - rotten old heaps from the 80s going for £2K+ :lol: a 1967 ...

ok lads - I hope this works

This was her about two days before the crash, needed some work around the front headlight and a total respray (I have just bought a compressor).

Hello lads

Front bumper had a tiny tap and has split slightly - not too worried about that at the mo ...

Two of my friends on facebook are interested in taking her off me so I may take up their offer and plough funds into the Daimler for now, she really needs a caliper sorting asap.
I LOVE the MG but I suppose I can always get another one later or perhaps even a midget once I have slimmed down a bit.
I ...

Our History teacher drove a 1969 Singer Gazelle.
Our Maths Teacher had about 3 1970s Vauxhall Chevettes.
I think that was it for classics - Our English Teacher Drove XR3i's but they were brand new then (late 80s) so hardly a classic car.

One of the sixth form girls had a beetle but to be honest I ...

-sigh-

Its really not my week lads.
Driving home last night on the oily wet road and came off the roundabout but car decided that it wasnt turning left back into the road but rather skidding onwards towards the barrier.
Managed to get a grip slightly but only enough to flip around and bump the fron ...

Cheers lads, I am going to have a look at it over the weekend and see what can be done for now.
I had planned on taking a look at the rust bubbles at the bottom of the rear side windows and the headlight area anyway this weekend .

I did a pile of good deeds the other day to help out a friend in need with her mk 6 fiesta.
the Karma generated was rewarded to me by my stepdad reversing his Alfa GTV into my MGB GT :(

Behind the door to the back wheel area is now sporting a massive dint :( - I know its a ratty old thing (it only ...
