Hey, all... Tim here in Atlanta. A pretty nice '73 MGB fell into my lap several weeks ago. The owner said she had become the MG owner she used to hate, having let the car sit for almost two years. I'm going through all the things one would expect, getting to know it (and Haynes and Bentley) better. The car knows it's own way to Atlanta Imported by now. So far, I've replaced the brake hoses, alternator belt, leaf springs (couldn't get the car home without scraping the muffler), air/oil filters, engine/tranny/differential oils... pretty much having a total blast getting grease under my fingernails and tinkering. Can't believe how much faster the projects list grows than I can get things done!

Took the new toy over to the British car show in Rome, GA last weekend and loved that I got waved at by other LBC owners. Took the longest backroad route I could figure out there and back, grinning the whole way. For a new MG owner, the show was a bit like taking a sip from a full-on fire hose; was drooling but happy by the time I left.

Well, I'm off to the MG forum to post my first question. LOVE my little MGB!

Best Regards,
Tim Walter
 
Welcome to the British Car Forum Tim. Don't be afraid to ask questions - you'll get plenty of responses and good information. (I recently bought a TR4-A in Atlanta - it now resides in Augusta.)
Congratulations on your MGB find - post some pics.

Welcome Tim,

I was once the owner of a 1978 MGB, but after obtaining a 1990 Mini it had to go. I owned it for about three years and the only thing that stranded me one time was the alternator. They are great cars and the MG marque has a lot of history behind it. Very interesting.

Enjoy your car.
 
WELCOME
 
Sounds like you've made a great start with your new car.

Have fun and Welcome!
 
Welcome!
