No, no, no, it says "When I get any bigger I'll need to"

Been there, done that with MGBs. Like a gurt big comfy armchair compared to the skateboard I'm racing at the moment. Nearly made I seasick

it would be most aproperiate to discuss hidden potential over a glass of "Bolly" . But Bollinger, Bollinger thats quite a lot of James Bond, isn't it.?

Yes,but it only leaves me shaken,not stirred.

OK, I'll 'fess up, it was 25 years ago I regularly raced a standard MGB in the BCV8 series. They weren't "historic" in those days, just old sports cars. I expect development has improved the breed somewhat from the 1980s.

Wasn't that where we came in???????????

terence · 19 Apr 2007, 15:46 (Ref:1895575)

BC V8? sOME PEOPLE EH!!

**John Turner** · 19 Apr 2007, 16:16 (Ref:1895593)

Now some of those really have been untapped, just like the the old modsport days. Very quick and spectacular are some of those B V8s.

Shame that Engine came along after 1965.That unit in a proper "B" would be quite something!!

**John Turner** · 19 Apr 2007, 18:29 (Ref:1895689)

'proper "B"!! No blinkers on there then, Terence!

MGB, thats an Austin Cambridge sport coupe isn't it?

terence · 19 Apr 2007, 19:24 (Ref:1895737)

Yes Al,it is,but when there is a V8 up front,well,they do come out a bit more nimble than some cars !

Al Weyman · 19 Apr 2007, 21:21 (Ref:1895823)

You mean the American Buick designed V8, just as well they never stuck the Leyland designed crap stag V8 in it was'nt it? :-)
