Try Midget on Skyline. 1900 miles top down (carol) all the way. Hurricane
Danny, VA Beach, Charlotte NC etc. Took 2 weeks. I once did 1200 miles in
one day. 79 or 80 Midget, I don't recall (was there an '80 Midget?),
Casper, WY to OKC (Oklahoma City) She bought it for an investment after a
ride in our 75 Midget. Then moved to OKC and went home for Xmas and asked
if I would ferry it to her new home. A couple years later, after I spent
a weekend getting it ready, her Hubby drove it to Greensville SC and blew
the engine. I don't know of the whereabouts of that car at this time but
it was white w/ black stripes on the side.
Ooops back to the thread. I now live 2200 miles from where I got the
first MG but it was trailered all of the big moves (had to drive the
Ryder) Oh well
