The MGB & GT Videos Thread

Here's a thread to collect your MGB videos from Youtube, Vimeo etc.
Post a link to your drive, race, whatever!

You can "embed" the video directly in your post by wrapping the Youtube video address in \[video] tags,
or click on the "film" icon at the far right of the post editor toolbar.

I'll start it off with this classic commercial:

Hi Rick,
I had thought about it, Napa isn't too far a drive for me. If I can get a day or two off of work, I might be able to swing it, I know my son would love to see all of the cars. My wife is also due with our third late spring so a new baby might make it a bit harder to break away but we'll see.

Thanks Paul, even though I got queezy shooting through the eye piece, Kim did a great job driving.

Rusty, that is Garage Band! (You music geek ;-) I had put together MG 2006 video that was sold through the Council so I couldn't use commercial music. It did the trick, but I think if I paid royalties on the music really I wanted, I'd be homeless now.

Sounds great, but what is a stock exhaust system? aren't they all rusted thru by now?

" aren't they all rusted thru by now? "

Doesn't matter as long as it sounds good.

I love the sound of your mg-what kind of exhaust are you running?

Nice rally footage! Love the "donut" (360) part of the course. Good save on stalling the engine at one of those stops. :D

I just found a better version of an earlier posted video (my laps of the racetrack). This version is much clearer than the YouTube version but I had to strip off the copyrighted music soundtrack. This meant I lost most of the car/engine noise too, mores the pity, and gained some "interesting electronica" music - but the pictures are still good :)

I believe that Saul replied to your comments on YouTube stating that it's the shifter knob rattling not engine detonation.

My apologies to anyone who submitted videos to the Magnify site recently, I didn't have notification of pending reviews set up correctly. I just checked in and there were about 1,400 videos to review! Mostly spam unfortunately, but there were about 70 new MG videos:

http://mgexperience.magnify.net/

Yes, LiL Mac is finally running. After six years of restoration she started with no issues. It is the first time the car has run since 1994. I am attaching a video so you can join in on the excitement! Note the three seconds of crank time to ignition. The white cloud is from the oil that was in the cylinders keeping them comfy until the slow owner could finish the other stuff (Hope it didn't leave an oil film on George's nice TR4A parked outside). It is now running with 75 lb oil pressure.
Thanks to all here on the forum that have helped to get me this far. Chris and Tony for parts and innumerable others who have given the advice that have helped me fill four binders with tech notes.

Hey Jon, I could not get your video to work. Thought I'd let you know. Also, I read with interest that you have removed your emissions stuff. I would like to do the same, but I know it will not pass smog next time. Do you put the stuff back on when you have it smogged? I have a 79 MGB as well.

Dear Fellow MGB owners:

I recently completed a motion picture with a plot that revolves around restoring an MGB Roadster. We're premiering up in Northern California's Cinequest Film Festival and would love to flood the town with as many MGB's as possible on the night of our screening. If you know of any MGB owner up in the Bay area, perhaps you can pass along the information. A large turn-out of our beautiful cars would certainly make for a media event and bring much needed attention to our indie movie!

Thanks and Safety Fast!

Martyn Harvey captured my autox run at last year British V8 Meet:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVnCON7GRSU&feature=related

We posted this two days ago:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvDoTV6Oo8s

Semi-sorta and almost a professional video, not just a clip. Our next one we'll do even better...

The brief: 1973 MGB GT from ND. The car has a 3.4L SFI V6. We have little about everything but the 9 minutes in the middle are all about how it drives, feels and even hard pulls and passing. If you watch nothing else, get to the second half of the video where we show a few semi hard and hard pulls and passing on the freeway!

Those of you who think that a V6 is not the car a V8 is, check this one out... Okay, I admit its a cruiser with air conditioning and lots of other stuff to make it ride nice but its got:

A CCE conversion kit
BMC GM type rear axle with 3.42 ratio and WW brakes.
3.4L Crate motor converted to SFI L32 type
Fastcars front suspension and brakes
Doug Jackson's Composite springs, tube shocks, panhard rod, and antitramp system
Ford 5 lug hubs with aftermarket rims.
(I forgot a few more)
Air Conditioning, Miata seats, sound deadening... Oh, just watch the video!


Interior and paint was done by the owner. The driveline, wiring and everything else was done by BMC. Lots of BMC parts too. (dare I say?)

The latest in-car (new little camera with god-awful audio... I will sort that out for next time).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBIQ2LbgTcE

When you are chasing a V8 the only chance you have of catching them (the green car - a Torana) is under brakes and through the twisty bits. They sort of disappear from you on the straight.

So, I thought I would brake later... and later... until... ooops! I was never going to make it!

(Seriously, pardon the audio - and my long hair flapping in front of the camera).

Hi Eric,

Good video! You may know this already, but the main thing wrong with the audio is the wind noise...or the noise as the car races through the air. This can be fixed in a couple of ways. The cheapest and simple fix is to cover the mic with some foam rubber with a solid front piece to break the wind, a piece of cardboard, etc.

The best thing to do is to get a separate mic if your camera will allow you to plug one in. Experiment with the location. But put a wind sock or foam wind piece on it and keep it out of the air stream. Let the windshield break the full force of the wind.

Also, keep it as far away from the transmission tunnel as you can as you are also picking up a good deal of mechanical noise.

Don't know if you get Speed Channel down there but that's what we used to do all the time for shows we shot for them.

Best,

Al

Now I just gotta check my New England to Australian translation guide/never did know what a fortnight was!

I always have had great times on my visits down under. A couple trips in the sixties (met Graham Hill in Sydney in '68--whoa, your car was brand new then--I think that makes me an antique, too!)

Then was back a couple years ago to shoot a motorcycle adventure show Southeast of Sydney along the coast.

I went through all the great videos here, and thought I'd posted mine, but I didn't see them.. Here are a few autocross runs. The first was just a decent, basic run. The second is from the same event but shows me grinding gears horribly and shows when exactly my thrust bearing completely disintegrated.

My latest - me on my first run up the Collingrove Hillclimb track (Barossa Valley, South Australia) as part of the MG Challenge interstate competition.

A cold and greasy and narrow track - and a nervous driver.

I improved my time by over a second by the last run.

It is both terrifying and fun (afterwards) - a little more practice and track familiarity would do me the world of good. BUT is was nerve wracking seeing a guy destroy his MGF by leaving the track rather spectacularly later in the day.

The video sure makes it look a lot less hectic than it feels!

Marty, that was fun. It's apparent that pulling your hair will not be an option for you. Although I believe you will want to. Can hardly wait for the next episode.

Thanks!

Just put up another episode tonight http://martysgarage.blip.tv

I taped the efforts to start the MG after she sat in the back of my garage since 1998.

The funniest part is my wife Laura. I was joking with Kevin (AKA Fieldbuilder here on the forum) that she was an ex-Army MP and swears like a sailor so, of course, she goes out of her way to swear constantly...not knowing that I am taping the whole thing.

I showed this to her last night and she is so embarrassed.

The first half of the vid shows us trying to get the B restarted. The second half is after I replaced most of the ignition parts on Sunday and she actually runs.

Very cool.

I will give me some slightly more acceptable results like this (but maybe not quite as fast):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzjGACJL1Sk

And my first attempt with my very own PoV1.5 camera.

I tried uploading to VIMEO to be able to upload a higher quality video (because the quality of the video the camera outputs is very good and I hate losing that quality on YouTube), but something wacky seems to have happened with this one.

Let me know if it is just me or do you, too, see all the blocky, black artifact rubbish? It isn't in the original video I uploaded.

My first test run of the POV1.5 - a little drive around my suburb (as my note on the video says, the camera wasn't firmly mounted for this test).

http://vimeo.com/6653097

EDIT: I replaced it with a lower quality video - I might have to play with this stuff a bit more :)

This was shot about a week ago, we just took out the falling apart muffler and put in a new exhaust. About the third time on the road since 1986.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7_Fq32KYas

OK, another attempt at the new camera (maybe I positioned the camera a little low, it makes me feel like a little kid, straining to look over the dashboard, as I watch this).

A little drive through the Hills just outside of Adelaide, South Australia - it was a lovely day for a topless drive!

I deleted the old link to our MGB walkaround video. I started a second you tube account but it was dumb to have two so I deleted the second one. You can find the walk around video here:

A better test of the in-car camera - can't wait to get it on the track (as I say in the comments on the vide, pardon the revs... they were done for a reason :-)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNVr5U23MMk

OK, posted elsewhere - the reason will become apparent when you watch it.

Just the same in-car camera taken on a little drive up the hill out of Adelaide (South Australia). It was to be the start of a cruise into the hills and then a bit of a blast down some of my favourite twisty roads, but we barely made it up the hill.

I could have driven her home with no clutch but the noises she was making sounded like it was going to do her more harm - so I got a lovely lift home in the cab of a flatbed tow truck.

Enjoy (the annotations from 2:40 on the video tell the story). It really was a lovely afternoon for a drive....

Tell me about it, Adam. He was in front of me at the very bottom of the bank and I waited a few minutes before I set off.

Guess he was slower than I thought.

If you have watched the power put out at the dyno of the MGB that we post above (Novmber 17th 2009) you may want to watch this one right after and see the difference...

What is it?
1980 MGB.
3.4L V6 motor.
No special parts.
No tuning.
No altered computer program.
Headers and intake are the only difference between this motor and a stock unit from a 1995 Camaro. This is a bone stock and very hard used motor. The car sat all winter, was brought to the dyno and run with fuel from last year.
Ignore the fuel readins- they were wrong. If the motor would have done that, it wouldn't have run- tail pipe test equipment issues.
Video quality is lacking but adequate.

I took the car out for a gentle outing over the weekend. Our National Meeting speed event provided the perfect opportunity to try to get used to the new setup.

This was the early practice session so of course I wasn't going to wring its neck (I am sure I could find some more revs if I really tried :) )

I'm running an ACME Speedshop (Hap) motor and she was sounding good.

Nope.

That looks like something you pulled out of your own cache.

What was up with that?

How's this one?

pretty cool, so what are you running in that awesome car.

It's the same tractor motor you have just lighter internal components, higher compression and a bit of Hap's magic.

Bloody Excellent

I created one more video making fun of myself.

That bridge comes up at you mighty quickly when you are off the black stuff :)

As long as you are passing more people than are passing you, all is good!

Thanks for that.

Great post Fred, there are some places that I am starting to name the blades of grass. I am getting to know them so well!

Now I see what you were bitching about, the first part of that video, OMG I didn't know it was possible to go that slow in those corners, it's a good thing you didn't run over any of them. You did good, when I was your age, I would have just knocked them out of the way :)

And for those who don't venture to other parts....

Here is a very rough cut of some of the more memorable moments of my short 15 laps at our recent Six Hour event - sadly cut short when my front right brake line collapsed (which made for an exciting couple of laps with the front right wheel locking up). You will note how serious this problem gets just before I make it off the track at the end.

The track was really greasy as it was just starting to rain.

Oh yeah - pardon the poor camera positioning, I was trying something new and I would have re-positioned it if I had gone out again :)o

Enjoy...

Hi all, I did a drive coast-to-coast (and back!) across England at the weekend. I took a bit of video, although I'm still trying to perfect how I do it :) Typically, half the time I started filming I quickly ended up behind slow weekend traffic, plus all the way back it poured with rain!
Here's a best bit of footage I took in the sun:

I think describing the Reliant Robin as a sports car is pushing it a bit! :)

No, you might see one a year. I think only a hardened few still run them - as you can see from the video they are 'temperamental'. I do know someone who had one years back and managed to put it on its roof though ...

Saw this one at Greene King Breweries whenI was in England last year and after watching those videos I cant imagine how they were allowed on the roads. Then again I see the newer 3 wheeled bikes out there

Here is a video I had fun making.

Cross Posted - because it isn't really a race car... just a warmed up, standard 'B!

I thought you might like to see a full SuperSprint run from the weekend. A bunch of cars trying to get their best laptimes (and occasionally meeting up on a lap - we aren't allowed to say that we actually "race" each other but we take off two at a time to make it a bit more fun).

This was a quick/small version of the video so the quality of the video and audio is down a little - and it looks like my camera (re-positioned in the car) is picking up some electrical noise, darn.

But it still is fun to watch and it was a lovely day at the track. Perfect weather, cold but sunny and no wind at all.

Enjoy (I know I did).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzUI1SU80k4

Well, I uploaded a better version - but it is not edited and has no fancy titles (you even get to see me rip off my helmet and gloves and my return to the paddock and chat with the Chief Steward ... I generally chop all that stuff off (:P) ).

I just noticed that you drive on the wrong side ;)

I meant what I said ;)

Nice Vids Guys! I wish we had a driving season longer than 7-8 months we have. Some claim we only have a 6 month driving season because they are not willing to get their heaters up to par and seal the interior. I suppose it could be worse. We could be in northern Canada where it's a shorter season.

How about videos to see what your doing leading up to Reno 2011 from the Americans and Canadians?

Posted today from last year's PVGP.

1967 Roadster engine back plate replacement.

Hi all. This is my first post, so apologies if I get anything wrong.

I've looked at older messages, and only seeing posts regarding the opposite of what I want to read. I have an 18GB engine, and a later 1974 OD gearbox. I want to replace the back plate from the 18GB, and fit the back plate from the 18V.

Okay, so remove all the outer and inner bolts, including lock tab, and the back plate starts to move away with a little assistance. What |I need to know is, does the back plate from the 18V bolt straight on to the 18GB engine, i.e. all bolts line up? There is obviously a gasket to fit first. Secondly, is the shaft on the 18GB and the 18V the same diameter? If it is, then the same bearing can be used? If not, is there a bearing alternative.

Thanks for any help, and good to be here.

Temperature hit the mid 90's today in Austin, Texas. Blue sky, strong breeze, a drive seemed like a good idea.

This is my first summer with the B and I've been wanting to see if the car is as uncomfortable as some people had said in the heat. We've alread had several days like this and so far as long as I'm wearing my ivy cap I've felt no need to get the top up for shade. The key to comfort was getting under the bonnet and completely shutting off the heater valve down at the engine outlet.

Here's a video taken driving along Spicewood Springs Road, which criss-crosses along a creek bed. A drive I go out of my way for pretty frequently:

VIR fan laps 11/5/2011

Posted from the V8 side.

You can see how much the car is smoking due to too much fuel pressure, and a little bit of fuel getting past the needle and seat. It still out performed a lot of cars, but it would've been a little quicker with that problem fixed. I have a new fuel pressure regulator now. The car is even quicker now.

There were guys at that first turn taking pictures, I thought they had the video camera. You can hear me get on it a little bit a few seconds before I come around the corner. I got it squirrely for the camera... just the WRONG ONE... oh well.

I'm at 1:14 in the video.

Cool vid Owen! That's a fair way from home :) but makes me want to try Honister Pass next time I'm in the Lakes.
Out of interest what do you do to prevent salt rotting away your B? Do you rinse it down afterwards?

Glad you liked the vid, Adam. The lakes passes are great. If you get the chance try Hardknot and Wrynose over by Ambleside. They make the others seem like the M6 :D

I'm pretty relaxed about salt. The car is well undersealed and has wheel arch protectors on the front wings. The drivers front wing is pretty ropey anyway so the protector is just to slow down the damage.

Salt isn't good for the car but it's not as bad as it's made out to be. I've driven old MGs for years as daily drivers and they've survived OK. Eventually it will succumb to the salt but when it does I'll just patch it up & keep driving. By experience that could be years away.

Why in the world would someone waste so much time posting garbage on this forum under a phony name, only to have it removed almost immediately? Just too much time on their hands.

The registered name is the brunette actress from "Three's Company."

This is my 1964 B this past spring...notice the snow in May. Lol

Hi Lyle. Nice motor, and obviously a lot of work gone into it so far, but I wonder if an engine refurb is next ? Your oil pressure looks a little on the low side. My 72 GT runs 70 psi at almost any speed above tick-over on UK Castrol 20/50 grade oil for older classics. We get snow in May in Scotland most years too, although we probably don't get the extremes of temp you might. Minus 10°C is exceptional - it normally doesn't get much below minus 5°C in winter, but then not much above 20°C in summer ( 67°F )

One of those great days for a shakedown drive, just propped my cellphone against the windscreen so quality is pretty awful.

Brilliant vid mate. Really enjoyed it!

Way cool vids, Stewart! (tu)

I can't decide which I like better . . . the one with the sound track or the one with the engine! And the tracking on Google is wicked cool!!

BTW, who is that on the sound track? I kinda like it. It needs to be on my Ipod.

Hi Jed...the track is called But if you go By MC 900 Ft, Jesus javascript:editor_tools_handle_smiley()

Awesome! Thanks guys!! :)-D

We have started to release Interviews and items of interest from Reno 2011. The interviews range from people we know and work with on a daily basis to other shop owners and individuals we have just met.

Shown below, Video #4 in the series may interest the MGB & GT forum for being restored to Factory Original condition as you will quickly determine, this was one of the lower produced and more sought after models.

If you would like to see more of the Reno videos or videos about National and Local shows, [url=http://www.youtube.com/user/BMCC75]please visit out youtube page[/url] at: http://www.youtube.com/user/BMCC75

I had a bit of fun on the track the other weekend, we had a clubday super sprint at Baskerville Raceway just outside Hobart the same place we held the Australian National Meeting Speed event over Easter. This was the first opportunity I have had to get the car on the track since doing the suspension and converting from wire to solid wheels. She handled quite well and I was pretty pleased with the 71.24 sec lap that I managed to do.

Wow what was with the red midget? Thought he blew a tire a couple of times.

Hi Ronn, He did lock up the front left a few times his excuse was too heavy on the brake and out of practise. When he had his "moment" he dropped the front left off the tarmac which unsettled his car. The embarrassing bit for me was crunching reverse when I went for second, after his moment in front of me. I also have to tap out my inner guards to as you probably heard the tyres touching occasionally

Hey Eric, you missed the gear because you where on the wrong side of the car! LOL! Looks like fun, how's Australia?

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who do. And those who know exactly how it should have been done. As one of the former, I constantly hear from the latter. I never have the heart to tell them they should join me. So it goes.

Stewart, great job, one of the best looking B's I've seen. I had two A's when younger, sold them for a song, crazy! Now just traded for a 73 B and it needs a lot of work. Maybe if I live long enought I have it looking good too! Take care, keep up the good work!

My parents filmed a trip from Alnwick to Edinburgh in the north of england in 1959, Iwas filmed with an 8mm cini camera taking 8 shots for 8 seconds which makes it quite shakey mounted on the dash of a Austin Atlantic It is on you tube,UK

Hi,

Here are some vids from our recent weekendtrip with our regional chapter of the Dutch MG Car Club. For anyone who cares: these videos are taken in the 'province' of Utrecht, in the center of The Netherlands. This region is famous for its cherries and strawberries. We drove through wonderful green fields and magnificent small historic villages.

Enjoy!

Torsten

Couple miles of Blue Ridge Parkway n. of Asheville NC June 12, 2012

My 1st dash-cam attempt, with no mount. Hard to steer, shift, and hold up that heavy Canon SLR, but hope y'all enjoy. My GT was running particularly sweet that morning at 5000+ ft >:D<

I made a video a while ago, while cruising :-)

https://vimeo.com/38940286

BTW, Can we embed Vimeo footage directly into the post?

A couple of videos shot today just North of Elk River, MN.
The movies were shot on my iPad (the wife was the camera person) and then edited and uploaded to YouTube using the iMovie App.
These were a first attempt at using my iPad for shooting some MGB vids. I think it worked out fairly OK I have one other vid that I'm going to upload using the HD settings. So that might take all night...
The films from today then...

Thanks for posting.

Glad you liked it, here's another video I posted earlier:

Part of a 3 day run with my local car club in May last year, the road is closed BTW as you'll hear from the audio !

Also some info on my exhaust if you're interested:

My first test of an in-car camera mount: video camera mounted on a tripod that I then jammed behind the seats! But it seemed to work fine.

This is not a "fast road" video, just a short cruise to the Madfish Grille on Rocky Neck (artist colony) in Gloucester, Massachusetts: a nice harbor-front bar that's packed in the summer months. Parking is tight, but one can park in the adjacent shipyard, as I did here…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbZK2LOoFjk&list=UU_1ORUFoh9HnL0QcjvKhvTA&index=7&feature=plcp

Forgive the audio picking up my occasional talking to myself and muttering at other drivers, joggers, etc.…

My 79 MGB "Sabrina" - I used her in a web commercial for a credit union in Ventura, CA. Not your usual MG video...

https://vimeo.com/53033915
password is vccu - all lowercase.

That's hilarious — especially so because when she screams "stop, you have to get a REAL car", they stop in front of a Chevrolet dealership with a bright-red new Camaro showing prominently in the background! (The car I had before my most recent MGB was a new 2000 Camaro SS, so I couldn't help noticing!)

Nice clean work with the video, BTW — especially the MotoLita wheel floating around as he steered the invisible car.… And your "Sabrina" looks like you just bought it new yesterday.

Thanks Paul - I had to use the Chevy dealership in the background for client relations reasons, since they're affiliated with the credit union. If they weren't 2 hours away, I would have borrowed one of their Chevy convertibles for the green screen shoot - but had to make do with my "free" MG :) These spots are supposed to be silly - and so far I've been able to deliver that. I had planned to use my "spare" steering wheel at the green screen shoot but forgot it - so I removed the Motolita (9 bolts!) and used that. One of those days.

And yet so many people think commercials are easy to script and shoot! (Can't wait for you to post your outtakes reel for this one…)

Nice drive Stewart if ever there was a case for OD though...............B-)

Fortuitous overtake on the van !

Intrigued by the video overlay, what are you using for that ?

On a drive like that I think I'd be averaging 20 mph faster and in and out of OD 3rd :devil:

cool commercial Ronn...she was really cute too!

Thanks William - I'm gonna tell her you said so. ;) BTW in case I didn't tell you, I was Art Director at WAVY-TV10 1983-1986. Good times. Family's still in Portsmouth and VB.

Oh, the traffic there is all old ladies driving in the oncoming traffic lane at 10 mph,yes. BUT, without traffic, it's a very nice road course at speed!

Some short clips from Sunday's horrendous run.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na127v7RWDM&feature=youtu.be

Rather you than me Owen, doesn't look like fun at all !

I should have said that shortly after the end of the video, we gave up on that route and reversed down it.

Sensible man :)-D

Such days are far better spent in the pub in front of a roaring fire.

Great video and you might be interested to know that at least 3 of the cars out of the dozen or so who's numbers I could identify are still in current use in UK, Rover 2000 JXC 8C and two Mini's GRX 5d and GRX 55D.

It's quite possible others may be too but some of them may have become parted from their original registration numbers in which case it becomes impossible to trace them.

Living in France now I hope to run the Monte Carlo route some day but not competitively and definitely not in the snow !

There is an earlier PATHE movie with shots of the class winning 1963 MGB aero drop nose factory hardtop roadster taking its class in the 1963 24 Hours Of Le Mans.Only 20 laps behind the Cunningham super lightweight XKE

Comparison with Pathe and the Monte Carlo is a bit OTT though :D

Facebook gets like that sometimes. I'll check back later and see if the page(s) load for me. And yes, the MG looks fabulous, judging by the video. I've always liked black paint on T-series cars.

Cheers!

I tried refreshing the links. Lets see if they work better now.

Thanks for the kind words, Ralph.

The TA is pstiently waiting for its pre season service then it will be in action again.

Hey! This is the one for sale for 55,000 dollars!
Chris..

This is what we call a Super Sprint.

And this is what I call "driving mad". I was a little grumpy over a bad start to the day.

And driving mad:

1. Spun me on cold tyres
2. Increased my lap times

Can you believe a 45 year old (slightly modified) road car can survive this sort of treatment, over and over again?

Think of this next time you think your road trip might be too tough on your old car.

First time out in the '63 MGB. - H0D A (Beginner)Group - 3/29/13 15 min MPG"

Third session. Missed 4th & 5th session as coil fried in lineup waiting
for start of 4th session.

Best lap: 2:28 (in traffic) timed by Huffacker mechanic (Jordan)- the guy who's
face is in camera before start.

Only lap in clear traffic was slower - the last lap - screwed up
approach to turn 2 - too far to right. Would not have completed that
lap anyway. Encountered checkered flat at Turn 7 just before end of
video. You may notice I've slowed down at that point

Hi,

I'm brand new in MGB GT ownership - we've just bought our first classic 3 days ago with my wife. Love at first sight, then a bit of a hestitation but finally there was no way back.
I've made a short clip of our first day out:
