Re: Visitor From the US
I had no idea that it was a difference in weather between Maryland and the UK I can only imagine that the weather in the UK is better. Perhaps that is why the Vikins did not stay in Maryland LOL

Re: Visitor From the US
Probably the weather in Kamchatka is better than on the left coast also. Let's see, Maryland is at about 40* N latitude and GB is a little north of 50*. LA is at about 35* But then I don't suppose that would have anything to do with it. More likely the sun has just baked Bill's brain.

Re: Visitor From the US
AAAAHHHH Kamchatka Russia which is closer to Alaska/Washington state than Russia. Very cold place. The Russians have a Sub base there and the so called fishing boats that used to spy on us (so they think) came from......Kamchatka.
Interesting place Jim. But I do not think the Vikins ever visited Kamchatka. What were we talking about.......oh ..yes, weather, yes hot here in Ca. Santa Ana winds, hot and dry. That is why the Vikins never came here. |

Re: Visitor From the US
The Vikings would have made the same comment if they had visited Maryland this year....FREAKIN RAIN!.....
and southeast U.S. had the worst drought in history last year - not any more. BTW Kevin, I like that color on your car. I'm sure it looks even better in person. Several months ago I was waiting for some touch-up paint on my car to be mixed and starting perusing the color charts looking for something similar - surprisingly, Volvo actually has some really nice greens and colors in general. |

Re: Visitor From the US
Tony,
The paint is Jaguar Alpine metallic Green two pack and the darker I think of the three shades they used. The colour really suits the shape of the GT and gets admiring comments wherever I go and is also very close to the colour of EX181 the Bonneville record car so not a completely alien colour for a MG. You do have to be carefull with colour selection for an older car, what works on a modern car does not always work for something a lot older. Kevin. |
