I saw the ?Moss motors? catalog with a racing midget on the cover and went 'ooh! Let's do that!'

Then a Beretta happened and the Midget was no more. Neither was the section of the fence the Beretta went thru after turning left in front of me. Clobbered her hard!

My little car crumpled like tissue paper

as my first car, I was supposed to get a MGB,

dad/son type adventure, as in I would have it , but I think he would have a go or 5 with it too,

then Dad saw one on his way to work that run up under a tractor trailer,

so, my first car was a 74 Vega Kammback wagon,

granted the MG's were not exactly reliable, but that Vega was a POS

75 is when the rubber bumper nonsense started.
79 was the last year for the midget.

My 80 B had the rubber bumpers.

I had a neighbor that raced midgets over in Sebring.
I was so tempted to build mine out like his and run it on the street. Leaving for basic training changed that plan.

I ran an Opel GT in SCCA roughly 20 years ago. When I had the cage built they said it was the smallest hoop they have ever done.

I can tell you this is quite small engine is 817cc, so roughly half the size as those big cars like the MG. New roughly 50hp, and pistons about as big around as a beer can. The pistons in my lawn mower are bigger.

I actually have two of these, the green one and an white one. Would like to change the white one to a motorcycle engine, I just need to find the time.

Really fun little car, when you sit in it and put your feet on the pedals the wheel arch hits you mid calf.

Currently inside lights are dead, I would like to drive it to work now and again, but I can't see how fast I am going. 35 feels like 80 in this little thing. And it is really singing at 75.

I did a V8 swap on a 76B about 20 years back with my dad. The 76-80’s had the MGB-GT option, and the motor mounts were the same. Now, I’m not much of a car guy, but enough that we were able to plug in a 62’ Skylark 215 V8 and bolt that up to a T5 transmission if memory serves. Probably took the MGB from 50HP at the rear wheel to 200. Overheating was an issue, but, run it on a cold fall day… man she scooted.

I'm pretty sure there is a prison museum somewhere that has a display of shit prisoners have made to kill other people, including a functioning semiauto handgun made out of scrap metal.

It's one of my favorite anti-antigun arguments. What's one of the most controlled / banned item in our society? Narcotics, illegal drugs. And what's the most controlled / regulated place in our society? Prison.
And yet you can still get illegal drugs in prison. So do you really think banning guns will work?

I just think about how much stuff gets smuggled across the border and what not. Even if you confiscated every gun in the US today, do you think the cartels wouldn't have guns flowing across the border inside of a few days?

This is one of my favorites. Got in a good “discussion” with an anti over this concept. Let’s keep the guns out of the hands of the bad guys, and leave the good guys alone.
