First show

Great excitement this past weekend. We took Big Blue to its first show under my ownership. It was a fabulous spring day with over 130 cars and - Big Blue was judged (by the participants) to be the best of the non E-type Jags. I'm very pleased and a bit stunned. Lots more work to do - new front and r...

They might have come out of the factory the same day. A friend of mine has an MGB with a VIN only five off mine. Small world!

Almost a unique collision

I had Big Blue, my 1965 3.8S. out on a short test drive in my neighborhood today (it is finally at a stage where I can drive it) and had a most interesting encounter. At a four way stop I was a little distracted and didn't notice that there was a car to my left that I should have been yielding to. W...

Re: My new project - an unrestored 1965 3.8S automatic

I sent my carburetors to Joe Curto in NY to be refurbished. When I got them back I put them on, connected up the fuel lines an...
