Lovely day today, nearly 60f and sunny. Spent a good part of yesterday clearing out my storage unit and bringing the MGB back home. Felt good to have that unit gone -- somehow, having so much stuff that it didn't all fit on my 1/3 acre lot just seemed wrong. The simplification process continues...
So today I needed to go pick up some bread (special gluten-free bread my wife needs), so I took the BMW out for a nice 80 mile ride. While I was out I put the MGB in the driveway to let the top heat up a bit in the sun so I could remove it. Came home, removed the top, and decided to take a little spin that turned into a 50 mile cruise up to the snow gate for Wolf Creek pass.
Sometimes I forget just how much I like this car. As you all know, I struggled hard with my decision to sell the Tunebug last year -- that was a very special car. That said, I really like driving the MGB more. I love the right hand drive; it's silly, I know, but it just makes the drive that much more special. Handling is great, power is fine (could use a Hap-built motor someday though), overdrive is great... I could go on. I really think I've found my car. The smile on my face was just huge.
Up at the parking area at Wolf Creek -- the snowmobilers must have though I was the crazy one.
