David, David! You were the one that argued with me IN FAVOR of the
MGB's reliability! What happened? Seriously, though, I've amended
my previous attitude, partly because of the discussion we had
earlier, and now, when anybody asks me about the reliability of MGs,
I tell them that "They are just about as reliable as any other car
out there, they just require more routine maintenance to make sure
they stay that way."
