Never too late

[MGADriver]

Hi,

 

At last doing something other than ground based. Finding these forums full of good info ... will be helpful when I eventually get a licence and something to use it in. Training in Jabs and so far all is good (though the instructor throwing in the start of a spiral dive when I wasn't expecting it did grab my attention).

Well done on getting started!

Enjoy the training - it can be lots of fun.

 

Any pix of your MGA?

How many would you like ? A groupie attached of the now second hobby since wings have crept in.

Welcome MGADriver. Nice cars. Enjoy the forum.

Blimey! They're lovely!

 

I had a 1500 MGA which died of rust, and an MGBGTV8 that was lots of fun. Oh, & I drove a Mk 2 Midget for 15 years. Eventually had to give it up after the 2nd son was born. First one fitted (along with a hanglider), but 4 up in a Midget was just too many.

 

Great cars.

 

But it's aeroplanes now - good luck with your ambition.

Welcome to the forum mate. . . .

 

Like the cars,. . . . still a few around in the UK, gawd knows why, with all the salt on our roads in the winter months ( which is around 9 of 'em )

 

get yer wings and keep on posting !

Thanks folks. I should add that when I first Googled the weight of the MGs' shells when restoring them the first response was "depends on how much of the rust has fallen off !".

 

They are now just daily drivers used mainly to get me to the flying lessons ...

 

Which continue to progress ... slowly ...

Sell it to buy more flying time. I only ever owned one (a. TC) But briefly rallied a "B". ( not too good on corrugations, but LOVELY exhaust note). Nev
