Western Railroad Discussion > Foaming in the B this morningDate: 06/15/19 10:44 Foaming in the B this morning Author: photobob I fired up the MG this morning and took it down to the south end of Dunsmuir Yard for a little photo shoot.

SR Fun car, though.... Date: 06/15/19 11:11 Re: Foaming in the B this morning Author: Curt My first car was a '67 MGB. Despite all the mechanical problems, it was a fun car when I was 18!

In California you keep your plates as long as the vehicle is registered. Date: 06/15/19 14:35 Re: Foaming in the B this morning Author: TCnR Nice looking car.
Should be able to keep up with the CORP in that ride. Date: 06/15/19 15:19 Re: Foaming in the B this morning Author: DonWinslow gmojim Wrote:

You actually COULD get it up over 45mph, but you had to drive it out the rear of a C-130 to do it. And even then you needed to be over 10,000ft- it took a while to top out...
