My first LBC memory was of a 1980 Midget that an Uncle of mine clued me onto.
It was
red, a 1980, and had a bad transmission, the guy only wanted $800. I wanted a
sporty
convertible, as my Dad had a '66 Vette and a'71 Chevelle convertible. He
spoiled me.
He also spoiled my MG hopes, as he claimed they were deathtraps, and always
needed
work. I would hear that echoed from many non-LBC owners on my short trip, so
far.
Anyway, I wound up with a Plymouth, no MG. I dealt with it, and in my freshman
year
of college, my roommate had two MGB's that he wanted to sell -two
semi-functional
'77s. I bought one, and towed it home. After getting it driving, I wiped it
out on
an icy road a little over a year ago...So, that's where my latest MGB love
starts..I
was only MGB-less for about a week...To read the story of my acquiring my love,
