1972 MKIII MG Midget, I think it will hold a 60" deck no problem! :laughing-rofl:

Had a '59 MG and several Triumphs. Does the MG have one rear spring?

 

I had one Triumph had to re-arch the spring, tires were toe in topside. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Nope, it has the half elliptical springs... Some MG'S did have quarter elliptical springs though...

Nice MG Midget.  When I was in college, we had four people in one of those.   It was a half hour ride, and it took an hour to get the circulation back into my legs.

Nice car and nice Horses.

Nice horses , I see why can't get anything done. The shop is too neat. You can see the floor and work benches are clear on the top.

Thank you, I'm definitely a working man, & have plenty of projects. Unfortunately, they usually aren't the ones I'd like to do, like work on the tractors or cars...

Oh well, such is life, speaking of work....Off I go.

Real nice horses Blaster:handgestures-thumbupright:...looks like room for a couple more tho!:ychain: Those tubs are the handiest things to have around!

Pay no never mind to those guys eyeballing your cars... they like to look at the beach ball instead of the bikini!

 

BTW you must have the same affliction as I have in always managing to get your fingers in the best shots! :laughing-lettersrofl:

@Blasterdad welcome to the forum!  Nice garage, shop, cars, and tractors.  I especially would like to hear more about the 81.  If you can scrounge up any old photos or memories of it...I'd love to see/hear them!  I always enjoy the back stories when someone owns one long enough to have some to share:handgestures-thumbupright:

Great thread, enjoyed all the pictures and info.  :handgestures-thumbupright:

As a former owner of an old Austin Healey  in the early '70's and a couple of English motorcycles around the same time, I know what you mean by lost's of trouble and parts were always about 2 weeks away.....:lol:

Thank you, parts & information are a lot easier to come by these days thanks to the internet & GREAT forums like this one! I also belong to a couple of GREAT British car forums.

Here's some pics of one of my neighbors Austin, (he bought it new in college), hope it brings back some memories for you...:thumbs2:

Darn finger in the shot again....:roll:
