Reminds me of a recent conversation:
FRIEND #1: I just bought a new acounting program for my PC. I spent
last night entering my expenses for my MGB. Now I'll be able to track
exactly what it's costing me.
FRIEND #2 (off into space): Why would anyoone want to do something so
incredibly stupid?

We have a tyrolite green MGA here in Denver. Its quite striking, very
fifties, and I like it a lot! How about the purple MGB's from the mid
70s?
Personally, I'm going the original Black with my Magnette, but it's
only because I like the look of an old Saloon in black with red
interior. We had an MGB show up at the Denver cnclave two years ago
painted in two-tone purple and white, with 57 Ford Victoria chrome on
the sides! Darn thing won one of the people's choice awards. I hated
it for the first two hours, and then it grew on me for the rest of the
day. It was pretty well integrated with the car's lines and certainly
stood out from the other 40 BRG or Red MGBs parked next to it.
Cheers,
Jay
