Here is an example of a MGA, one of the best looking cars ever created in my mind.

Yes indeed.

When MG released the A onto the world it was basically the next model after the MG TF, a huge leap forward, and several manufacturers borrowed some of the A's sexy lines.

Here is what the A replaced, the TF




Actually the first cobras were created from the British sportscar called AC Ace, and as you can see, it was not sexy until Shelby injected it with serious power and fender bulges to make huge tires fit.

[QUOTE=Triple-H,Jul 18 2006, 08:45 AM] Hey TO Marco,

I know you miss your SiR as the MDX is not nearly as much fun and you have played around with the idea of a new Civic Si, but I have found the perfect next car FOR YOU. Now keep in mind you may have to wait until 2009

Really, it does not look at all like a Decepticon to me at all.

Better example.....



However, I hate to admit I have not even started it up this summer due to other issues.

PS - The AC Acea was very sweet!

That's just like Dad's car, same color and all, well almost, Dad has the solid steel wheels withthe tiny hub caps.

Damn dave, you should come on up to the Knapp Sporting Roadster Tour 9/8/06, hell you can even come in the S. As Chairperson I can get you in even though I'm at my 100 car limit.

Doug,

I appreciate the Glen offer. It's very doubtful this year. I started a house remodeling project, as my wife recently reminded me, in Feb and progress stalled. I've promised myself that August/Sept will be pretty much devoted to finishing things.

As for car activities I did however pencil in Meadow Brook and Mid-Ohio Vintage, plus I plan to take in an MGA engine for a rebuild sometime in the next two weeks. I do love the Glen Vintage weekend. It's simply the best! If I did make, it would be a last minute decision. Who knows.
