<Gawd, did I enjoy driving over there. Ron.>
My big chance back in 76 was a downer. I had a US-spec MG Midget and it started running really bad a few days before our trip to the continent. The local MG guy found some little butterfly in one of the carbs that was there for US emissions regs. Some spring dohicky had broken, but since they weren't used in the UK, it would have to be ordered from stateside. So he welded both of them shut, so the carbs would at least be equal. So here we are going flat out on roads that would be any redblooded American boys dream....doing..oh..about 70....getting passed by Renault....sedans....with 4 people....pulling a trailer....uphill!
Oh the SHAME of it....  Don
(if the engine hadn't been sick, I KNOW I could have made it to 80...)
