I had an outing on Sunday with some English friends who live in Provence and have a variety of weird vehicles. The NG TF (MGB-based) failed to make the rendezvous due to an electrical problem. The XJS had to be abandoned at the roadside with brake failure. The MGC’s clutch was evidently on the way out. The driver of the 2013 Morgan 3 Wheeler was worried about bevel box whine and various other things. I followed the amusing ersatz Bugatti Type 35 (also MGB-based) for a while and it was making horrible grinding noises in the corners from the back axle.

Only my nearly-new 4/4 was running perfectly.
