By smackers, you're sick already. And you've only hung around this bunch of mgnuts a couple days.

i might add, stress the importance of academics to your boys, you'll be sorely tempted to spend their college money! Scholarships are highly important now.

We're working hard on spending our kids' inheritance and I'm threatening to spend Sarah's 'wedding fund' if she and Rob don't get their butts in gear soon (have been together over 7 years)

Importantly, don't let this be an emotional buy. As emotional as I am, both my MG purchases were sane, reasonable, well-thought out manipulations on my part.(and title it in YOUR name, in case dahubby gets an itch to sell it again)

I think it's contagious! Luckily boys' college fund is in hands of my dad (a financial planner), so I doubt he'd give it up--he's waaaaayyyyy too practical. And I must point out, hubby only sold his '76 B (he'd bought it new) to get the down payment for our 1st house since I was pregnant. He has now been surgically altered so we should be ok...

Oh gawd, see the 'neutering' thread here somewhere!
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

Honestly, Between the Both of us (and all the Boys), I think the aunt's B could possibly B the Best way to Begin this Bedlam.

What year and color was dahubby's original B? I have a friend here that had a B, her ex sold it (part of the reason he is now an EX), and she FOUND it again on ebay (by the VIN #) and once again owns that car.

Would be a longshot, but might be fun to try and find a car like what he had.

Ummm, I just bought a '76. you don't think... Nah...what are the odds........

Here is an EXACT duplicate of his car (only shinier and cleaner!) This one's for sale for $10k. He sold his B in 1992. I think selling the B was more painful than the neutering. God love him...

Hey, Greg Bowman & Trevor Jessie somewhat near E'town according to the member map (see top of page) Mickey Richaud may not be terribly far either...

I'm 3 hours from Paducah, 4 or so from L'ville. IF we can't find someone to look at this car nearby, to prevent you taking a long road trip, I can go look at it over the weekend.

That's really nice of you. I'll check into the ones you told me about and let you know. Did you see the pics of Mark's car? Cute, huh?

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

I also saw the empty garages. sigh.

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

Just think of all the Bs you could fit in there...

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

Methinks you might be every bit as consumed with the idea of getting a B as getting one for dahubby.

But your secret is safe with me...and the 6000+ other members here.

Yea, car is way cute. But then the worst-looking B is cute as far as I'm concerned.

Hey Doc, YOU'RE the Doc here, remember?

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

Methinks you are right. I'm actually partial to the rubber bumpers! So my aunt's car suits me just fine. Eeerrr....I mean HIM just fine.

Girl, you are going to work out just fine here. Next thing ya know, I'll be teaching you how to change a water pump.

You know the absolute BEST thing about an MGB? You can't take 4 kids with you.

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

Girl, that's the truth. Can only fit the big kid I'm married too...

And I'm taking you up on that water pump.

Janel I think she needs two B'. Then they won't have to share.

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

Have talked to an elderly gentlemen who has a 79 green w/tan top that was listed in the local paper thats supposed to be in very good condition for $4500, however it's in Delaware. If interested I can give you his phone number and take some digital pictures for you.

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

We used to live in Niceville. Great place. My 13-yr old graduated from Happyland Preschool in Niceville, FL--what a great way to start!

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

I may be interested. I'm waiting to see if my aunt's '79 B checks out ok. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for thinking of me!

Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo

Jack. We (read I) have 2 Bs. What makes you think I share?
