MGB-GT Ah, Springtime!

Here is a picture I took yesterday. I decided it was not a top-down day. "We really needed the moisture". I'm looking forward to some sunny days soon.

Love the roof of the Elf. I was surprised to see only a small belt of snow on the passenger seat of my MG when I swept it off yesterday.

I had a little snow on my drivers seat. Not surprising, considering it was blowing pretty hard here.
A nice sunny day now, nice enough to change the oil and "test drive" with the top down.

That photo's depressing, Bruce. Makes me toes numb just seein' it. :shocked:

Was quite nice less than a week previous to Bcliff's picture.

No cold toes for me. One of the first things I did on this MG is took the heater out, flushed it, blew all the dirt out and lubed the motor. It runs quiet and WARM! I can't say the same thing for the Elf heater. It has a little "heater thing" that the New Zealanders call a heater. All it really does well is fogs the windows. The Mini has a heater from a Spitfire. It works pretty good, just takes a while to get warmed up. The MG heater really cooks.

In all the winters I've endured driving MGB's there was NEVER a time the heater was less than stellar. Even at Interstate speeds and sub zero ambient the thing kept us warm enuff to have to dial it back on eight hour trips.

I'd go to the ends of the planet in a well kitted B. Only ONE time did an MGB of ours need to be haul'd. And it wasn't one I'd gone thru. An engine 'grenaded' on the Mass Pike near West Springfield as we were delivering it to a friend in Maine. Up to that second the beast had performed flawlessly. Never did determine the real cause. Still have pieces of that block in Maine and here as keepsakes, too.
Need a good, reliable transporter? Get yerself an MGB. :thumbsup:
