Retired from Verizon and a former sub sailor. My first car was a new 65 MG Midget. I also owned a 65 MGB in 1970 and always wanted another one. I finally got one 02/10 and I'm loving it!!

I had my 74 MGB towed to Automotive Collision Experts(ACE) today to get the rear end body damage fixed.

I stopped because I thought a stick was dragging underneath the car. I checked and continued on my trip home and heard the noise again. I was close so I went home. I smelled electrical burning and thought the generator had finally given out. I tried to start the car and all I heard was a wiz, wiz and the engine did not turn over. I rem...

I've got the LBC bug bad. I now have another project to complete this winter. My 74B(Stinky) is sitting in the driveway under cover and waiting to be fixed this next winter. Someone rammed it in the rear end. From the back of the doors forward it is perfect. I got it as a parts car but it is so nice I have decided to fix it up as my daily driver. It has 2K miles on a rebuilt engine, new Peco exhaust, weber outlaw carb, new English rollbar and new Bridgestone tires. The body parts are so ex...
