My other car toy is an MGB

My sister used to have one that looked almost exactly like the one you have pictured. I stored it for her during the winters then I would go all through the car in the spring (brakes / clutch / tune-up and any other maintenance items). I would drive it for a week (my fee for letting her leave it in my garage) and then return it to her to drive for the summer.

Kinda funny this gets posted here because I just had a ice conversation with my grandma and she was telling me an mgb was her first car, I'd never seen one until now though

My first MG was an MGA like the one shown in the photo below. I can't find the photo of my MGA right now but it was white with a black top. I wish I had it back. I loved that car. I still have a small scar on my chin caused by me hitting the steering wheel when a drunk hit  my MGA head-on while I was stopped at a traffic light. That was the end of my MGA.

I have a 1978 MGB-GT (Brit right-hand drive) with the Webasto sunroof.  Great car.  I've had a lot of MGBs and GTs in the past.  Working on a 1958 MGA (major project) and my pride and joy is a 1949 MG TC.  Easy to work on, parts are cheap and readily available, and fun to drive.

This is my favorite shot - spur-of-the moment opportunity at a wings and wheels show - the plane landed and was parked on the grass for about 15 minutes, then took off again.

That's a cool photo of the TC with the plane. I took a photo of my Reatta with a plane. There is old locomotive in the background.

I love driving my MGB, it always puts a smile on my face!!:)

 

 

***The BEST thing about owning an MGB is:

 

That the PARTS are very easy to acquire and super cheap!!!

 

Also the MGB is very easy to work on.
