Good point Monster made about insulation--Bennett installed some heavy duty stuff under the wool carpets in the early 90s that the original owner told me made all the difference in the world. Also good point about the front end--mine is the strengthened type--didn't know some were built with stock MGB.
As to discussions around the parking lot--maybe we need to create a Significantly Setback Ones group.
{No Jeffy--that little snipit was not lost one me! Bite me! Actually says alot for their strength if it can carry my fat butt.}
