I was wondering if anyone out in net-land have any opinions on MGs in general.  I know they are not the most reliable cars around but summer is approaching and they are convertibles `8^).  I'm interested in a 75 MG but any opinions on MGs would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I'd driven it since the previous July, putting 20k miles on it.  The sensor light used to light up regularly, starting about 5k miles after I bought it.   My brother and I rebuilt the engine but used all of the original equipment, so I suppose the sensor could have used replacement.  Performance (hah, if you could call it that) did not change.  Perhaps emissions increased, but how much emissions could a CA-registered 3 cylinder engine produce? That was a neat car, I held the engine block easily in one hand!  Has anyone ever driven the 'Turbo' variant?  Just curious...
Actually I wasn't too surprised, since I bought it with the rust.  Any of you  got some ideas of getting rid of this CHEAPLY (key word)??  It has eaten all  the way through on the door panels.  Can I use Bondo?     Also, is there a good paint that will bond to Aluminum rims?  The paint thati was on my rims has peeled off, actually, there's some rust looking 'stuff' on the rims themselves...  but it comes off pretty easily.     One more thing... Have any of you done self-painting to a car?  How do you start?  What do I need to do this?

One more thing, Andrew...until this season, the Leafs have sucked pretty badly over the last umpteen years (have they won the Cup during our lifetime?)...so the North Stars haven't been the only "shit" team in the Norris.

What sadist brought up this vein about Malarchuk?  When I saw what happened I wanted to throw up, and at the same time I was devastated, since I thought that Malarchuk wouldn't survive.  BTW, I believe he picked up an alcohol problem after (before?) the incident.  To radically change the subject, the Caps must be having nightmares about the Isles in overtime in the playoffs.  Have they *ever* beaten the Islanders in a playoff OT game?  This is lunacy.  The Caps are such a sorry team in the playoffs, they consistently choke against opponents who they should be beating.  Losing two OT games in a row is not coincidence, it's evidence of the choke factor.

Any other   The Leafs have always been kind of comical.  During the second  Imlach era, when Darryl Sittler was called a "cancer on the team", he tore the C off his sweater and for a while the Leafs didn't have a Captain.  Sittler eventually ended up in Philly and he was promised  the  Philly captaincy  by  new  GM  (and Sittler's friend) Bobby Clarke.  Instead, Sittler got traded to Detroit.  Rick Vaive was the Leaf Captain for awhile but he slept in one day and they took the captaincy away from him.  Then he was traded to Chicago.  During Doug Carpenter's tenure as Leaf coach, in an  attempt  to  kiss the  ass of a sulking Gary Leeman, the Leafs took the A away from Brad Marsh to give to Leeman.  Leeman wouldn't take it and when they  tried to give it back to Marsh, he wouldn't take it neither.  The best story I remember about a captain concerned Mel Bridgman, late of the Senators.  While he was in Philadelphia, Bobby Clarke, arguably one of the great captains of all time, was bumped up to the status  of playing coach and so he had to relinquish the captaincy.  Bridgman be- came the new captain.  A reporter asked a Flyer what Bridgman did as a captain  since  Clarke  was  still  the  undisputed leader amongst the players.  The reporter was told that Bridgman was in charge of  making sure that the soap dispensers in the showers were always full.   --

It seemed pretty conclusive to me.  The puck clearly hit the crossbar and then came down on the line.  And the announcers, admittedly homers, kept harping about how they "must have had a different view upstairs" because it was obvious to them, and, I would have thought, to anyone who saw the replay, that the puck didn't go in.  The referee originally  signalled no goal but the video replay "judges" initiated contact with the referee to claim that a goal was in fact scored.  This, to me, is unheard of.  Seeing stuff like this happen gives me a bad feeling about the Leaf chances this year.  cordially, as always,  rm

What is the policy regarding players and the minor league playoffs versus WC? I know that the Rangers are holding back Kovalev, Zubov, and Andersson for Binghamton, but I also know that the Whalers wanted Michael Nylander to play for Springfield, while Nylander wanted to play for Sweden. The Whalers allowed the NHL to decide, and the NHL chose the WCs. How does this differ from the Rangers and Oilers? Did the Whalers have to go through the league, or could they have forced Nylander to play in Springfield?
