Sounds intriguing, do tell more. I went to the day care centre AKA Sutton Hoo. Should be c 28 miles return but it was a bit more in this lovely weather Service, usual stuff New Battery Some nano-tech Diff oil New clutch master cylinder ('orrible job) Bleed all hydraulics with new fluid New John Taylor mirrors Refit the repaired horns Full strip & clean F & R brakes, new pads Apply fuse bank & relay lables Clean & detail paintwork & chrome (if enough time left)

I heard a new one today. I took the Moggie to the local fishmonger's for some scallops. Arrived at the same time as did a late middle-aged woman in a small, nondescript SUV/crossover thing:
Her: "What a neat car! Is it an MG...B?"
Me: "No, it's a Morgan...plus four."
Her: "Oh, a Morgan! I used to be very involved with Austin Healys."
Me, inside my head: How, exactly, does someone "very involved" with Healys somehow identify a '67 +4 as an MGB?
Me, holding open the fishmonger's shop door: "Healys are lovely cars."
Despite my unresolved confusion, the scallops were delicious on a bed of porcini risotto. A side dish of Bahamian-style conch salad was icing on the cake.

Image/Cooper man..
sorry for leaving you in limbo, it is still making 283bhp and 310lbs/ft. the interesting thing was that the hub dyno could work out the diff and gear ratios (no idea how) it is a fascinating bit of kit and a lot safer than a conventional rolling road I have no idea which is the best or most accurate but the dyno hub has less variables ie. tyre pressure tie down pressure or tyre slip. Last time I had the car on a rolling road two blokes had to jump on the back to stop it coming off the rollers. That workshop was manned by a bunch of walt disney characters ..never again!!

Lovely early morning run to shake off the cobwebs Your Roadster is looking good Leroy Thanks CooperMan. Cosmetically it's where I want it at the moment. The only things I'll consider next is mesh grille and a front valance. I like the full with ones without the overiders but don't want to lose the protection that the overiders give. Not sure if I fancy the little stubby one.
