Good morning, from sunny South Florida. My initial interest in owning a British sports car was way, way back in my Freshman year of college. A college roommate had just been elected to the State legislature, and he decided his Sprite wasn't the proper vehicle for his new status. My dad, however, was against the purchase and got me a Chevy Corvair instead. Less said about that car, the better. About 40 years ago as a college professor, I had that "mid-life crisis" and was looking at either a mistress or that overdue Brit sports car. The wife said, one or the other, I opted for the car. All in all, seriously, I am on my second MGB. Some of us in SoFl have pools. I have a1980 MGB, the money pit with wheels. But, it's a family member, and we just don't throw them away. Looking forward to the help threads that may provide the assistance for my continuing MGB issues.
