I'll never forget sitting in a TD I believe it was. It had the backwards opening door and I was probably 9 or 10 years old. The door hinge area in back shut on my upper arm and pinched it pretty good. I howled and it took dad a minute to figure out where the cable was to get it open. It scared me more then hurt. I guess the damn thing was close to new at the time.

My first love was a 1975 MG Midget Special. In 1979, I learned 1979 was going to be the last year B.L. was going to build them. I traded up to the '79. Zero difference between the two. ❤

Forgive this child of the late 20th century but what was the purpose of the Riding Mechanic?
@KingRoseArchives9 жыл бұрын
+Christopher Bloom Pretty much what it sounds like. Here's an answer from Wikipedia. A riding mechanic was a mechanic that rode along with a race car during races, and who was tasked with maintaining, monitoring, and repairing the car during the race. The various duties included manually pumping oil and fuel, checking tire wear, observing gauges, and even massaging the driver's hands.[1] They also communicated with the pits and spotted from inside the car.[2] If the car ran out of fuel, or otherwise broke down, the riding mechanic was usually responsible for running back to the pits to fetch fuel or the necessary spare parts. Riding mechanics were also referred to by the term mechanician. The position is largely associated with the early years of Championship car racing and the Indianapolis 500, however, they were also utilized in grand prix racing for a period of time.
