Default new website , Model A and MG TD

I don't post so much here anymore but read a lot of comments/ advice given by you Guy's The reason for not posting is that I got frustrated with no reply's if I send some a answer on a request via a PM . I think that good manners are gone as the day 's go forward and it seems a sign of the time we live in. But having sad that I DON'T like it Call me a "old Fashioned" old Fart if you will
Model A Ford guy's in the region pressed me a bit to publish the website . Reluctantly I agreed. So here it is. Not only mode A but also a MG TD and give 's an idea about the work I have done on those cars.

Cheers

If they are not expecting a PM and have never used the function before one can expect a certain amount of non responses.

I just usually post an answer here on the forum. I use the PM feature to ask a question that might be misunderstood by the general readership but rarly have I not received an answer if I was expecting one.

Nice pictures on the site!

love the clam shell MG's, I worked on then in the 60's,a basic sport car, not a very powerful engine with a weak crank, I replaced about a dozen of them in the 5 yrs I worked as a mechanic, loved the SU carbs, the only carb I have ever found that you could overhaul with out removing it, and a lousy Lucas electrical system

Frustrated with no reply to an answer? No response to a question might be frustrating but i cannot think of a logical reply to an answer.

(Now that i think about it alot of old ppl think i owe them free hugs & petting just because they looked in my direction, glad i don't live in their generation, that would be creepy. i must have seen 1million girls in my time and none of them ever gave me any free hugs.)

Wow, two of my favorite rolling sculptures on one page. I'd love to see more. Thank you for posting. If I ever DONT respond to a Personal Email from you, the equivalent of lashing with a wet internet noodle is well within your rights!

Pete ,

Thanks for the compliments but in fact my son-in-law designed the website . and build it. My contribution was only uploading about 1000 pictures to the Netherlands ( 8 hr job ) and I thank him dearly for his patience

"Moisture controlled at 62 %"

Too high. Cars will rust.

Needs to be 40% or lower
