  1. and can we beat them with stick? Just heard this expression on Sirius NFL channel. Not in favor of it. A Tuddy sounds like a toy for a small child or an ice cream flavor
  2. Has anyone heard of this or anything close to it https://www.etsy.com/listing/1353511991/in-dash-fitting-classic-car-bluetooth?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=bluetooth+dash+knob&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&frs=1&sts=1&content_source=21d3a273cd3271d70177efd28f395a43e7648564%3A1353511991&organic_search_click=1 It appears to be a bluetooth audio to a phone. Very intriguing for the MGA since the fog light switch is useless. They never installed fog lights in US models. Wondering if anyone knows of something similar that would not take up dash space. I think any dash radio just will not look good
  3. The upside of wire wheels is more than offset by the work required on them. And like I mentioned - you almost have to do it yourself. I think there are some places you can send them to for restoration but that has got to be expensive - especially to ship Also yours are chrome which does look nice. Look at the unrestored MGA next to mine and you will see that they are painted some sort of grey/silver so they will never pop in terms of visuals
  4. Very happy to not have wire wheels. On my first MGA in the 80's I converted to disk wheels to avoid trying to true the wire wheels. This MGA came with disk wheels so I had no desire to change them. No idea but pretty sure there are no a lot of people left that can true them.
  5. Your nightmare is over The blue one beside is an untouched 65 year old one with 20K miles. Owner is the owner of the garage working on mine. And yes the paint is different. 65 years does a lot of changes Also the dash has been restored. getting closer
  6. Still miss Golfsmith All Vendors Day the weekend before the Masters. As a leftie I got to try out all sorts of clubs from all the big vendors. Bought multiple clubs and sets from Golfsmith because of it.
  7. Pretty sure they changed the law but in the 90's you could not buy cold beer in stores. Only room temperature. Guess they finally figured out that college students knew what ice was.
  8. any flag thrown five seconds after a play should be rejected
  9. Remember some team (Denver??) had vertical stripes on socks. Looked like barber poles
  10. Yeah - ran into huge number of them a few years ago in Seattle airport. They travel well
  11. Don't you enjoy train wrecks
  12. here ya go. Of course this was one of the "before" pictures
  13. Still proceeding. Now have signals and front bumper. Rear bumper is with me since it was not needed to trial fit before painting. th me
  14. fixed it for myself I have no idea WHY they ARE on the Tennessee River and where they go next
  15. For the sailboat folks.. Saw these this morning during a bike ride. Replicas of Nina and Pinta. It is amazing how small these ships are. They apparently are on tour but I have no idea how they got on the Tennessee River and where they go next..
  16. Worked with a guy who lost an eye to garage spring. Not something to be messed with
  17. Valid premise. Seems to be different/better today. Maybe it was just a distant microphone for the relay. Wonder if it will show up for the 4x400
  18. Is there some actual rule on how many runners are in the final? Saw this yesterday in womens 10K. 20 plus runners in the final is a huge recipe for multiple collisions and falls
  19. For some reason it seems that the sound of the gun and the actual start are not in sync. Yesterday it absolutely looked like the 4x100 men and women were out of the blocks before you heard the gun. For some reason I think the false start is set up electronically and done visually. It has a preset value for a reaction time and is wired to the gun. If it registers you leaving before the specified reaction time it sounds the alarm
  20. Just wow... Another photo finish
  21. Whats the back story on the 3 ex Cubans that now jump for Spain or Portuagal. Didn't think Cuba allowed athletes to leave.
  22. If I am the Italian coach I would consider a protest. That was a marginal block. I don't think it changes the result but the winner moved way outside lane 1 there
  23. What just happened there. The lead group comes out of the turn and they have a stretcher and stuff picking someone up in lane 3
  24. Were there no prelims for the womens 10K? That is a huge number of runners. Otherwise they just decided that the finals should have 25 or so.
  25. Just tossing this out. Say whatever you want about Lewis but he knew how to win in relays. World record here
