In the MG you probably had to stop halfway and adjust the SU's. :-)


"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners
Union carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly
formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for
experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners
begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven
of the Haynes shop manual."

-From the .sig file of a British car enthusiast


MG, I live just to touch you,
when I double clutch you, MG it gies me a thrill.
MG, I love your ignition, your foru speed transmission,
your points your plugs and your grill!
MG, when I look inside you,
the sight of each valve and rod, brings me closer to God!
MG, I'll wash you and wax you.
If some Chevvy smacks you, I'll die, MG!


From Mad magazine, you can probably guess the tune..

Ahhh mannnn, my dream car back in the 50's was the TD. That was before I
knew much about mechanics, later I changed my mind...
