 Motor mount warning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
The lower left (transmission) mount is solid rubber and is not prone to failure.
On earlier cars (through 93?) this mount is pressed into a circular boss in the transmission cover, and it looks like it would be risky and difficult to try to change it in the car.
If motor mount life is of paramount importance, I would recommend putting in a rubber damper as Townsend suggests, and then adding a solid spacer to cut mount travel to 1/4 to 1/2 inch.

 Highlight: Mount Rainier Lahar Warning System, Pilot Project
Careful study of the deposits in the large valleys that drain Mount Rainier shows that, over the past 10,000 years, Mount Rainier has been the source of numerous lahars (volcanic debris flows) that buried now densely populated areas as far as 100 km from the volcano.
Mount Rainier is carefully monitored for signs of volcanic reawakening, and an eruption that could produce a catastrophic lahar initiated by vigorous release of meltwater is expected to follow days, weeks, or even months of readily detected symptoms of volcanic unrest.
Travel time for a large lahar from Mount Rainier may be an hour or less to Orting, the city closest to Mount Rainier in the Puyallup valley, and possibly as little as 30 minutes may be available from detection of a large lahar to its arrival.

 Steering rack mounts warning for all V8s, V8 Register, MG Car Club
Further investigation of this failure is continuing but the preliminary analysis is that the steering rack mounts on the V8 crossmember extend further forward and at a shallower angle than those on the chrome bumper MGB, so the mechanical advantage applying the load to the steering rack mount is greater.
Very careful inspection with good lighting is essential to ensure any movement in between the mount and the crossmember is detected - particularly any fatigue cracking of the weld between the mount and crossmember and any cracking of the mount itself.
We should add that the same steering rack and mount situation exists with the rubber bumpered version of the four cylinder MGB models, although they do not generally have the same degree of power understeer loading, so a similar inspection is recommended.

World Heritage-listed Mount Warning - called Wollumbin by the original inhabitants of the area, the Bundjalung people - is the remnant central plug of an ancient extinct shield volcano.
The path that visitors use to climb to the summit avoids the sacred areas so it is vital that those who choose to climb the mountain stay to the marked path, both out of respect for Bundjalung tradition as well as for their own safety.
The walk to the top of Mount Warning will take approximately 4 to 5 hours return and is considered strenuous, particularly the last part which involves pulling yourself up a steep face assisted by chains fixed to the rock wall.

If the threads are broken, 98% of the time it will be due to bad stud mounts, antennas that were not tightened, antennas that were over tightened, or those that ran into something that they should not have encountered.

 The Bellingham Herald | news | | False alarm: Radio broadcasts mistaken mudflow warning near Mount Rainier   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
TACOMA -- An emergency radio station mistakenly warned that a massive, volcanic-caused mudflow was headed from the flanks of Mount Rainier and that listeners in the valley below should rush to higher ground.
The emergency lahar warning was broadcast Wednesday for nearly an hour on the 1580 AM frequency in the suburban Pierce County town of Puyallup.
Geologists have warned that a huge mudflow could break loose from Rainier’s west flank with little warning and that a wall of mud and debris could swallow everything in its path and bury the Puyallup Valley floor where 60,000 people live.
