Dear Thom,
I am so sad that there is no way to write my name " Madhu " in
English. Madhu is pronounced similar to Madonna it is too round, If it is
written "Mathu" It is pronounced like "Math " is too sharp. There is no
choice for me in English
English Language is easy to learn. It is handy. With the knowledge few word
you can deal with it.
It is like a baby room key board. ( with 28 keys ) How can you play
"Beethoven" on that key board ?
It is like a small pocket camera giving a picture but not that perfect
picture.
See the "SMS" language of teen's. It has nothing to do with English.
While you people fight about your English language, I only laugh about the
fight.
Madhu, Mathu, Madu ( all are wrong )
No body is perfect.

Clive notes that it seems his cat is always tired !!!
TIBERIUS
Cruel, but composed and bland
Dumb, inscrutable and grand
So Tiberius might have sat
Had Tiberius been a cat.
from Poor Matthias....Matthew Arnold(1822-1888)
How beautiful it is to do nothing all day - and then
to rest afterwards

Re: tyres tire
Hello Clive,
Your M-type find sounds like a story we might want to hear
about. At least I would!

Re: tyres tire
Not a lot to tell really -
Like I said we found it back of a farm house in Gunnislake,
Cornwall, being used as a chicken coup (e) brought it
back to a friends Garage forecourt and hosed it down.
A week of hot sun later Walter's wife insisted I remove
the smell and the car came home on the roof rack (they
are not too heavy the M Types!) Took just 6 people to
load and offload.
It was then rebuilt as a racer with slimmer than standad
pointed tail fabric body a la Amilcar CGSS and used
on road and track.
After some five years of development it would lap
Silverstone at just under 70 MPH with a top speed in
the lower 90s
Still with the original single bronze carb and the funny M
Type exhaust casting with 1001 right angles in it.
It is now in Italy I believe A recent photo is at
http://www.alfabet.se/MG/M-Types/slides/MGM.jpg
Though I had nicer wings on it when it was mine!
Racing an M is an interesting excersise in balancing
development of the engine with the frailty of the other parts -
Like bending the propshaft in two under acceleration, and
tearing all the spofes out of the hub at race start when the
flag drops - to name just a couple.....
Eventually it would all hold together and was a regular
winner against some quite unlilely big opposition.
All Best
Clive
