Congrats!
We have a pizza guy that drives his <span style="text-decoration: line-through">MBG</span> MGB to work all year 'round....I'm pretty sure it's his only car.
My "record" in my B was 200 miles in one day, but man, was I sore afterwords (the car was fine).

I drove MGBs daily for a couple of decades. I always had to put the late-model seats (72-75) with the early rubber diaphragms (<67) to keep my back in one (1) piece though.aeronca65t said:Congrats!

I guess my "record" would've been the Tuesday night at 8:30 PM that I left New Orleans and drove until Thursday afternoon at 1:00 PM when I checked into a motel in El Cajon, California. So, 1800 miles, give or take, in about 32 hours.
I did sleep some on the way though; I (VIVIDLY) remember stopping to fill up w/gas, using the restroom and then pulling my car under an overhead light to take a nap (sometime early morning__still dark). At some point after sunup, I wake up and saw that lightpole immediately in front of me (thinking I had fallen asleep while driving) and jumped on the brake pedal so hard, the wheels should've shot off sideways! I bounced around in the car, hitting my head on the top bows, and once the adrenilin settled out, I laughed my a$$ off!
Immediately before checking into the motel, I had driven through a genuine sandstorm going through the desert; I had sand everywhere (top was down). I put my camera (Canon F1 w/ motor & 200mm F-2.8) inside my shirt to protect it as much as possible. I figured by the <span style="text-decoration: line-through">top</span> time I stopped and erected the removeable top (stashed in the trunk) the car would've filled up like a sandbox, so why bother?
Oh, what was the question, again? :wink:
JP...I totally understand and agree with your comments. Carla told me to tell the "rest of the story"...I meant "no real mechanical problems". The odometer quit working and the fuel gauge comes and goes so, there actually were problems. When things are that minor, I sorta consider them nothing. I'm still insecure about driving in the dark!!
