  1. Went to the local Euro Brit car show for North Alabama. There were some serious entries and a ton of Porsche's. Since I have an MGA I check out the locals. Every one is outstanding/ I saw this one in 2019 at NASA car show. The dove grey and red pops I saw this one in 2019 at NASA car show. The dove grey and red pops A few others MG TD There were two Panteras A Jag with multiple carbs - fun to tune Show would not be complete without a Rolls Did I mention - lot of Porsches
  2. Only one type available. Because I was bored I found the actual wording The vehicle is operated in "club activities, exhibitions, tours, parades," and can be driven to these locations for the purposes of attending these events or activities. For purposes of Section 40-12-290, Code of Alabama 1975, the term "club activities" shall refer to the sponsored activities of Vintage Vehicle owner organizations, such as the Antique Automobile Club of America, or the Model A Club of America. The term "exhibitions" shall be deemed to refer to public displays of Vintage Vehicles and shall include antique car shows within or without this state. The term "tours" shall be deemed to be an organized trip comprised of several Vintage Vehicles to a predetermined location(s). The term "parades" is deemed to be a public procession on a festive or ceremonial occasion. (3) The following activities by an owner or operator of a vehicle displaying a Vintage Vehicle license plate are outside the criteria of legal use and in conflict with the provisions of Section 40-12-290, Code of Alabama 1975: (a) The use of the Vintage Vehicle license plate on a vehicle that is being driven to school, to work, shopping, etc. This type of operation constitutes “general transportation purposes” as this term is used in Section 40-12-290, Cod
  3. At least Texas has reasonable rules on classic plates. I'm too honest to get the Alabama version since, per the regulation, the only time you can drive the car is to a car show.
  4. Open rock wall in shower??? Cleaning that is going to be fun
  5. One more underneath - and that Jag in background is gorgeous and worth a lot
  6. Getting real close. I am in Michigan at the specialty garage and drove it for the first time since 2000. Dad bought it around 1980 and I acquired it from my twin brothers estate Me after driving Front view Rear view nt into Underneath - lot of work wethe underside and getting it painted. A lot of metal work and literally evey mechanical components needing rebuilding - engine, trans, brake, steering etc
  7. I like a lot about it but I am just not a fan of the non circular steering wheel
  8. Technically the voters for HOF are only supposed to consider the on field performance. This came up before with Lawrence Taylor and Terrell Owens. Technically is highly variable
  9. Just an add on. I am pretty sure I posed some of these way back in this thread but here are some before and after shots of the MGA. And yes, the color does look totally different depending on what light is nearby I am heading up there next weekend. It is about 98% done but the 2% is a back ordered trim piece before After
  10. Probably more correct for muscle cars. The MGA is smaller, no roof and just fairly simple in terms of curves in the body. It just needs less effort
  11. Crap - if I had know I would have driven down. Huntsville is having a show on Memorial Day so I will easily get there
  12. Not far from truth. I think I averaged a little under 20K for the two paint jobs on the MGA. The first one was done in our garage in 1980. The second was not. Granted the second included a lot of metal repair first but a really good paint job is 10-15K
  13. it does have a floor switch. On my first MGA I spent half a day and learned all sorts of new cuss words trying to wire it. Obviously you are upside down and have your head in the footwell for a while. Very glad I am paying the specialty garage to put new harness in the current MGA
  14. Why in the world would someone design a bag with that? Plus why wouldn't they let you buy a replacement
  15. IIRC they can always order off the "regular" menu. Probably used a lot when Sandy Lyle served haggis
  16. Was going to post something similar but yours is better. Remembering that Under Armour got a tremendous deal by signing before he won
  17. Northwestern Golf... Haven't heard that name in a while. First clubs were a Northwestern starter set
  18. With all these low scores I hate to see the pin positions for Sunday.
  19. How did you spend 100 bucks at concessions. Everything there is dirt cheap.. Guessing a large number of people and been there since Monday
  20. Chris Kirk just got demolished by 13
  21. Was just going to post this. 5 is killing the players and they expect a lot more wind later on. If you haven't been watching the hole position is just brutal. I have seen at least 5 pros with a 25 footer below the hole - leave it 10 feet away. They just showed that it is currently the hardest hole so far and again the wind is not a big factor yet
  22. No reaction from her on sinking the putt. Odd.... Still very nice to see. Most kids would have hit it much harder
  23. They don't rust but they do rot. My first MGA let me know that in grad school. Coming up to red light with a huge puddle of water in the lane. Leg was straight to depress clutch. Water came thru the gap and straight up the pant leg - almost to the crotch. That will wake you up in a hurry
  24. Timed out before pictures
  25. Getting real close to finish line. The carpet is in. They also let me know that transmission parts finally showed up and the rebuilt transmission is perfect. We are still waiting for what is called the front cockpit rail. It runs on the top of the dash. Hopefully soon and then it is finished. The rail is backordered howsoever. Those seats are the ones we had made in 1980 and still look good.
