"Stately without being pretentious"... That is a prefect description of the design, mate. And another beautifully made video.

Loving the series! I just got my brass duck on Friday in that my oil pressure problem on my 47 TC is now solved with a thorough degunking of the sump and a new pump. keep it up. love the inspiration this gives.

[@limit55]

Thank you for the support! Where are you and your TC located?

Hey now, the TC wasn't a slow car when it was new! Not Bugatti fast, but it could run rings around the average car of the day on a mountain road. You have to gauge the speed of a car by its peers and the era from whence it came. A 60's Ferarri will get pounced in a drag race by the average modern family car but you can still consider it fast. In the case of the MGA , they weren't any faster for their time than the TC (or TB) was in the 30's and 40's. The extra 250+cc engine capacity does help though. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[@limit55]

True enough!! But relative to each other, the MGA will DESTROY a TC But I suppose relative to itself, a TC is “quick” I’ll give it “quick” 😜 thanks for being my funkhana co pilot!!

[@thevintagemotorist]

@@limit55 I sense a new video where Daniel learns how fast a TC can be. ;) Or put the original 1500 and bias-plies back on your car, and let's go for a drive! A '58 MGA had 15 more HP than a TC and weighs 200 lbs more. I love my MGA, but destroy is a strong word. That said... great video. We almost had our names immortalized on a duck.

had to laugh at the casual comment from the wife about after participating in a rally they, "...almost get a divorce". sounds like my parents, the skirmish line that they had established between each other over the years was sorely tested when participating in any kind of competition. whether as a team or an individual. i guess when one or the other was obliged to take a back seat to the other, the line wasn't strong enough. IDK **shrug**

Classic car rallies test driving skill and marriages 😂😂

[@jeffharrison5265]

Looks like a great time. How did you win the duck last year without a running TC? I've done a few TSD rallies and they were great fun. I miss Calif. Iowa is just flat and boring except on the East and West sides along the rivers. Good luck on getting the duck back next year...rooting for you!

[@limit55]

This is a great question. Last years competition was a clue style rally, points based off the number of questions you were able to answer correctly along a tour. All participants were on the same course at the same time behind the same “leader” so it was considered equal opportunity in participation 😁😂 Get out to those rivers!

Thanks Eric!

[@jarthuroriginal]

Obviously, great fun. Good to see it was a learning event for you. Your big restoration project received counsel unavailable by other means.

[@limit55]

Thanks Jack! Always good to learn from others 👍
