Got in the B at 6:00 am this morning to take my wife to work and the B was non to happy about being asked to stir on such a cold frosty morning. She was stiff to start but once I got her fired up and moving everything was OK. Even the heater worked reasonably well, I was comfortable, but I did notice the wife pulled her blanket from behind the seat and covered up. You think the wife might be trying to tell me something? I think that it is probably time to let my B sleep for the winter and put the old Jeep Cherokee back to work.

Regards John
 
I also drive till the salt hits the road,,,,,,, that time would be yesterday.

PennDOT is salting as I type this.... A sad day indeed.

Until the time they apply salt to the roads, I'm driving my B.

Salt + MGB = not good.
Salt + MGB = Happy Body Man

Guess it would all depend on which side of the equation you were on.

Lucked out last winter. Snow came late, rains came early to wash the salt off the road. They're talking flurries Sunday night into Monday, so that may be it for the year. Oh well.

Hey John -

Maybe the wife was hinting that you should install seat warmers in the B. I guess I'm just a "glass is half full" kind of guy! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif

I'm now in Colorado, and they use sand out here, at least in my area. Not that it matters yet, as my B is in the garage getting prepped for floor pan replacements. (It was a Connecticut car, where I believe they actually use salt to pave the roads!)

Happy Driving!
 
RTR52nd,

I agree. It's COOOLLLDDD here. It must be 58 degrees... and there is water falling from the sky.... I think they call it rain... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

Hey, hold the phone... I live in San Diego... What you call winter, we call the Freezer in the kitchen... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
 
Was lovely here today, took two nice drives. Still sorting.
 
10" or so of fresh snow, 3 passes with a snowblower over the last 24 hours. Put the snow tires on the daily driver today as well -- winter has come to Utah.
 
We're having a bit of an ice storm today.

Gotta love winter in Illinois!
 
Pretty day here. 25* when I left this morning for a short drive. When I got back home 3 hours later, it was all the way up to 39*.

No salt yet. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

It was about 20* when I got up at 0630 today...not too cold to enjoy a nice soothing sit in the hot tub, though! (Although the "shrinkage" was pretty significant upon exit!)

Low thirties all day and I was in the Garage with barely any heat pumping out of my little heater. No care I finally got the 74 running and moving under it's own power. WOOO HOOO. Tonight going down to 14Âş and colder with the wind factor. A storm is heading my way.

Rick I think we are getting your storm.
 
The storm is supposed to hit us tonight. It's actually started to snow a bit now, and the wind is picking up, preparatory to the freezing rain that's forecast.
Goody! I'm supposed to pick up two 1972 Midgets in the morning, 36 miles one way, two trips! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

2 1972 Midgets! I want one
 
My first MG was a 1972 Midget. Had it in college.

Ditto had it in High School. When I got back into MG's it was about 15 years later and my 2nd MG was a 1972 Midget. The firewall now adorns the Garage and I have been searching ever since. There have been about a half a dozen or so more come by but no 1972 Midget.
 
Before you crush either, cut & remove the rear qarter panels!
 
Tony, unless they are terrible, I don't plan on crushing <u>anything</u>.
I haven't thrown one away yet. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
They're all restorable if you're obsessed!
