Stuarts v8...

Although its been documented a number of times, this was posted up on the MGOC website; Stuarts rather well done v8 midget.

I've seen it in the flesh and it is every bit as good as it looks - some of the best engineering I have seen for a long time!

A series forum - A potential resource?

Morning folks, I had the following email this morning which may be useful for the A Series folk (sorry to the 1500 folk)...

Hello,

I am a member for a UK-based online discussion group called A-Serious (http://www.a-serious.com/)
We are a group formed by primarily Mini owners, but we thought it would be a good idea to build a community around the A-series engine and any of it's automotive hosts. There is a friendly and informal attitude on the forum, but there is a wide range of topics open for discussion, whether it be technical, motorsport or social.

Remember, we welcome any A-Series engined vehicle; Morris, Austin, Vandenplas, MG, Rover, Healey, or indeed any of the kit car manufacturers that have based their vehicles around the venerable design.
