Dear Chip.
What you are referring to is also known as the Em-gee-binge-bungee-syndrome.
Try beating your head with a ball peen hammer until you can't stand it any
more, then stop. The effect is about the same but it's a lot cheaper.

I have a 1949 MG TC EXU (US export) that I am restoring. I am looking for
both the front and rear bumpers with bumperettes for this car. The TD
bumpers are very prevalent but are not the same. Most TCs are British only,
which had no bumpers. Do you have any bumpers or associated parts or know
who might know where I can find a set? I would appreciate you forwarding
this to as many MG enthusiasts as possible. Thanks in advance for helping
me find this last major component of my MG. Best of Holidays to all!! Doug

a couple of weeks ago I was lucky to find and purchase a MG Midget TA.
Meanwhile I got in contact with Walter Prechsl who lives just about 40km from my
place. He suggested I should join "THE LIST" and here I am.

After riding and enjoying a 1964 Midget MkII for some time I began looking
for the kind of MG I like most: a T-series model. I was lucky to find this nice
TA in december 2003. It is in a good mechanical condition, all invoices and
data about technical maintenance came with it. But in simple words, what really
made me buy it was love at the first glance.

Congrats to our newest member, number 600. The easy way to become a
better member is to go out and get your own TC and restore it. I assume
your Dad's MG is "Betsy". "Kathie" would be a good name for your car.
Welcome
BOB

Thom,

Any time you start to miss Badger go to: www.badgerbadgerbadger.com

A few moments of that will make you feel the same way that a few emails
from Badger eventually did.

PS - On occasion I have been asked if each member has a number. The answer
is "no". The number that is used when new members are added to the roster
simply denotes the number of current members. That number changes as new members
join and old members leave.
