QuoteHarvey in FL I remember getting 90 mph out of third gear with one more gear to go plus electric overdrive. I meant to comment on the above quote earlier. I once had my 1962 AH 3000 wound all the way out in overdrive and I was doing 135 mph.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
Even if you bring tools you probably won't have the part that goes bad. Every garage probably has most of the tools required but not the parts. It is at least overnight to get a part shipped from Moss Motors if you know what you need.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
have creature comforts in a 986 like power this, power that and A/C. People do have sentimental reasons for keeping their toys. We have an MGB with antique plates for the occasional sunny day spin, however, my daily driver is a Boxster. You can have both. Our 1974 MGB was purchased new and has traveled with us from DC to California, to the UK and to Paris France then here to Pennsylvania. There iby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
I have replaced everything in the MG but the transmission from the speedometer to the pinion gear that plugs into the transmission. I've been working on this, off and on, since 1983. Last effort was a few weeks ago. I may think about it again in a decade or so.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

windows but I only have one poor quality photo of my Healey. My wife bought an MGB new in 1974. We still have that. I just finished replacing all the brake parts, radiator hoses, windshield wiper motor, and water pump. Also changed transmission and rear end oil. Running good.except for a bouncing inaccurate speedometer needle.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

We stayed in Panama City on the Pacific side but were able to drive to Colon on the Atlantic side, coast to coast. in less than an hour (Colon is kind of a rough place). Enjoyed visiting the Canal museum and driving a simulated cargo ship through the locks. The two videos are ten minutes each. I built a model of the canal in 6th grade. I always wanted to visit and I made it there in 2009. Drivingby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
Short Road Trip to Valley Forgeby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
LUV CRVS pronounced phonetically is meant to mean I love curvy roads. This morning a lady walked by my car, saw the license plate, took a photo of my plate and told me she appreciated that I love curves. She then shook her booty at me to emphasize her point. Please no jokes about Honda CRVsby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
If you are somewhere around The Main Line in Philly I have Lapis Blue Color Rite Touch Up Spray & Stick which you can have if you come and get it. Send me a private message and I will provide directions etc. I have no use for it since I sold that Boxster.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
My wife who monitors the analytics on our B&B web site asked me if I knew why, all of a sudden, we were getting visitors to our web site from pedrosboard.com. I told her about the post above offering the free Boxster ride in Valley Forge. She asked what if there are a couple, two guests? You can't just give one Valley Forge tour in the two seater. Then she offered that one of the guests couldby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

If you stay at The Great Valley House of Valley Forge B&B for more than 2 nights I will give you a ride through Valley Forge Park in my Boxster. Rooms are around $100 instead of $750. Click here for The Great Valley House web site.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

Good luck! Appeal to them. Your problem is something that should never have happened and would seem to be a design fault because it did happen. There was a term the dealer used when they said they would ask Porsche North America as to what they were willing to do. I don't recall exactly because this was over ten years ago, but it was something like customer consideration. Porsche NA agreed to prby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
Try the Porsche dealer. Porsche NA might cover it because it is very odd. I know in the past they at least covered all the parts when the top mechanism failed on my 1997 Boxster. A car I had bought used from a private party.by Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
I haul quite a bit in my Boxster because it has more storage space than our other two practical cars (e.g,, 6 x 40lb sacks of water softener salt fit nicely in the boot). MY OTHER RIDES 1). 2010 Mercedes SLK 350 that my wife drives. 2). 1974 MGB, least space of the three. Used sometimes to go get gas for lawn mowers. With the Boxster top down you can handle most things you need to haul. Mby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
My wife bought a 1974 MGB new in Washington DC about two years before we met. It has its own web page (click here) that describes its travels and a 1999 restoration project. From DC the car has been to Calif. and to London where we drove it around England and Wales. We also ferried across the channel to Paris to attend a wedding. The car is semi retired here in PA now. In about 1983 we stored itby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum

your definition (the video) of 20th century "sick" is accurate. I never had a bat wing suit but I made 200 jumps from 1968 to 1976, most were in Osceola WI. Also jumped in Sioux Falls SD (the same day man first landed on the moon), Thunder Bay CA, LaFerte Gauche west of Paris in France and a couple jumps south of Washington DC. I guess some might call that sick but I got over it. Can you pleasby Jeff (Philly) - Main Forum
