The Worst of Perth 
Baffling- Is this an operating business, and if so, what’s it called? It looks like it may once have been a shop selling parts & accessories for MG owners, and three lonely steering wheels is the only original stock that remains, sitting alongside the bizarre collection from the Baldivis tip shop/recycle centre. The car pictures would be OK if they weren’t faded almost out of existance. I think I can make out a 67(?) Pontiac GTO in the picture closest to the steering wheels.

One of the best feats of bush mechanics I’ve ever seen was up near the Mitchell Plateau north of the Gibb River Road. We came across an old Landrover with a trailer and a totally smashed rear diff. There wasn’t much we could do other than to offer the old bugger a lift out on our return from the Plateau, so we headed up to Mitchell Falls for the day. When we got back he’d completely stripped the rear wheels, axle, diff, and suspension, and bunged the lot onto the roofrack, had spun his trailer around and jammed it under the back of the ‘rover, lashed the whole kaboodle together with ropes, and was limping along using the front wheels. Respeck.

We hired a British Racing Green MGB from him in 2005 for a few days. There were four out front, four in the shop & a beautiful red “A” which I nearly bought. The A had been fully restored, & ALL the other “B “s were in pristine condition. The rates were reasonable, & the car drove like a true MG. No BS real sports car.

Lazy Aussie, your name says it all. In answer to your misinformed reply. To which stats do you refer with regard to sales of Mg’s. HAving checked with several clubs, most of them do not carry this information. Maybe some obscure part of the ABS you know of does.
I know manyMG’s which have recently been bought & hired by men without receding hair lines. Look it up dipstick, age does not neccessarily bring about hair loss. Comes from good genes.
I was not dumped by a long suffering wife. My wife & I were in the first week of our Honeymoon, I ran your “sorry arsed wanker ” theory past my wife & children. They seem to think that I am alright, & have done fine. Let me know when you nurse a sick wife through cancer till she loses the battle, & put four children through Uni. Oh, & I do run a quite successful business. You should be very careful with regard to accusing people of lying.
And Bento, monocle? what ancient history did you get that from. You know that sitting around watching old black & white movies on your Beta all night long will get you pidgeon holed.
Orbea, you obviously need to look at all cars from that era, & what the engineering of the day was like, compared to the build price of the vehicle. Also have a look at how much room was built into the vehicle for the owner to modify its performance. Go & get one of your associates with an disposition for objectivity to drive one & tell you how they drive. Or wait until you are old enough to get a licence & try to do it yourself. You make the assumption that I am a loser based on what fact? That my wife hired an MG for me for a few days while we were transitting Perth on our honeymoon? She knows that I like to restore old cars, I thought it a nice getsure. All of our friends & family did too. Sorry I am not familiar with Hugo or the tale which you have mentioned.
As for your last, sounds like you should pay more attention in school & learn how to use the language. Dont worry, things will get easier for you when you get to high school.

Thanks so much for your excellent reply, PJ. You are absolutely right. He is lazy, and he is an Aussie. I’m also very interested in statistics with regard to MG sales/hire and baldness, and I hope you can help me. You mentioned that most of the clubs you checked do not carry this information, so could you please pass on the names of those clubs which do. It would greatly assist my research.
Thanks also for the information that hair loss comes from good genes. I did not know that.
Thanks especially for asking your wife and children if you are a “sorry asked wanker”. Orbea would do well to follow your example of consulting those with an (sic) disposition for objectivity. I’m somewhat concerned, however, that they only seem to think that you are alright, so you might want to broaden the range of your research. Which University taught your children that humans have four hands and two penii, by the way ?
Finally, thanks for taking the time to forgo the sunshine and a life, and for not hiding behind the anonymity of the net, PJ.

I originate from near the home of the real sports car – Morgan
MGs were always a choice for people who were either
a. afraid of horsepower (e.g. Allard, Alvis, Bentley, Maserati, Ferrari or even Austin Healy 3000 et al), or
b. were fiscally challenged, or
c. were more influenced by fashion than performance, or
d. simply had no idea of what ‘sports’ really means, or
e. any combination of the above.
I drove a venerable NA for a while which was probably the least desirable vehicle in terms of power, braking, handling and creature comfort; a real masochist’s delight.
Then I was loaned a Morgan Plus 4.
Again one for the masochist, but with genuine handling abilities, adequate (just) power, and brakes that actually reduced one’s speed, even after a long descent.
Comfortable, it was not; feeling more like a go-kart on freight wagon springs.
My poor coccyx remains delicate nearly half a century later.
