Maybe already mentioned, but I remember the Renault Dauphine had an electric clutch option that was actuated by hand pressure on shifter. ... View more

Now I just have to find an old F-150 that has not dissolved in rain water. 😞 ... View more

Driving an MG TD and racing an MG Midget, I have come to appreciate your philosophy. Fifteen years ago, I sold my 911 because I was getting too many speeding tickets. Last year I sold my S2000...because I was getting too many speeding tickets. I never get tickets in my MG. And I can buy expensive bourbon with the saved money. ... View more

Great for the sellers. But wait till these rich guys try to sell a car bought at this price over the next few years. I think it will take a while for the market to catch up...and only if the frenzy continues. I just have to think that a lot of money was banked when restaurants closed for the virus. ... View more

How in the world did you leave the points in there so long without ever checking or replacing them?! Isn't that one of the first things one might do on picking up an old car? As for Pertronix, don't feel so secure. These are NOT as robust as OEM electronic ignition systems. I have one quit after 24 years of service, and two last about a summer. Always carry a points and condenser set and an "idiot proof" drawing of how to sawp them back in for the day your Spridget mysteriously stops dead and refuses to start. ... View more

I've loved MGs since I discovered a MG-TD at age 6 in a used car lot where my father was looking at a '53 Pontiac. Used several $500 MG's as daily transport, including harrowing cross-country trips as a kid. Now I own a 40-year old restoration of a '53 TD, a '68 Midget for vintage racing, and a '79 MGB with a Buick aluminum V-8. A car for every mood and I still make harrowing multi-state excursions. But now I understand: "whining toddlers screaming 'Gimme!'" ... View more

No mention of tires. Most tires on light trailers are rated at 55 mph max. Few of us probably pull that slow in interstates, but I see some guys hauling at 80+. That's dumb. It has also become quite difficult to find trailer tires made anywhere but you-know-where. ... View more

Pretty lame article! Tudor is a Ford marketing moniker. And a club coupe is not the same thing as a 2-door sedan. It is much closer to what was called a victoria.Not to be confused with the Crown Victoria, another example of Ford marketing bs. ... View more

No! The worst characteristic of the Aztek was styling that proved you can go through art school and learn almost nothing about proportion and esthetics. Or did somebody in the front office pen it while experiencing a god-awful hangover? ... View more
