A 40 year love affair with my MGB GT. I know, I need to get a life. I have one of those too.

What A Joy To Drive
Posted on: Monday August 25, 2014
I love driving my MG even after 30 years of ownership. Yes, of course, there are always those little things you need, or want to fix, but sweeping through the corners of well paved country roads is like - what I imagine to be - like flying an aircraft around racing pylons. I have owned a number of vehicles since I began driving in the 70's. Only two stand out as being fun to drive, my MG and a BMW I recently owned that was simply too expensive to keep.

I recently took my MGB GT to the Bonny Eagle Car Show in Standish, Maine (May 15, 2011). It was a dreary wet day, a day that kept many very nice convertibles at home. The result was my taking home, the FIRST PLACE trophy in the Brit Division of the show. While I am pleased to boast of my win, the truth is that there were only two entries in this division - a hollow win. I will have to plan more rainy day show entries.
