Byron, Merlot is sure looking good...and earning his keep too. I too, have been enamored with MGs. Maybe you could post a couple of pix of yours...show Merlot in the background so you can say the post was Ford related....look in the background of one of my pix and you'll see Clem in the garage...Sold my last B (a junkyard resurrection-spent more $$ and sweat in this one than I should have but wow, was it ever a fun car...my 2nd MG) to a very good friend a few years back, and he has it looking better than I ever could have. Here's a couple pix from when I owned it...
