Back in April, I visited Eastern Connecticut, where my aunt & uncle live. After driving on some of the tight, twisty backroads, I began to miss my girls. One day, while I was out on one of my drives, I discovered a place called "The British "T" Shop." I didn't see the shop, per se, but what was parked out front. One hasty U-turn later, I was face to face with one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen - a 1974 MGB/GT in black. After talking to Tom (the owner of the shop), I discoved the name of the owner and some of the car's history. I couldn't stop thinking about the car, even when I came home. Friday, browsing through Hemmings at work, I stumble upon the MG section quite by accident. Just for fun, I decide to look up 1974 1/2s before moving on. However, one ad caught my eye. It was an ad for my black car! After a quick phone call, I learned that someone was to come look at the car the next day. After a restless sleep, I distracted myself for a few hours at Best of Show before calling again (I think swingers would say I broke the "three day rule"). The fellow who was to look at the car never came, but the owner could tell I was serious. As long as I mailed a deposit, the car was mine. I told him my intentions for the car - one last summer road trip before college - and he told me that he and Tom will go through the car and make sure everything is in good shape to drive the 500 miles or so back home when I pick her up mid-August. This will be the car I drive back and forth to college in the spring and fall.
