General non-MG related discussions. No politics here please!!
Rolled in yesterday afternoon.
Boring drive through 8 states, but the most boring were Missouri & Kansas.
Anyway, spotted a white MGB on route 24 between Limon and Peyton, Colorado. Only one I saw the whole way.
Later,

If you found Missouri boring you took the wrong route. Kansas, on the other hand........... Never mind, no need to offend my neighbors to the West!

Billava,
St. Louis was interesting. Took I-70 all the way from where the PA Turnpike ends near Pittsburgh to Colorado. About 1,600 mles from Philadelphia to Colorado Springs.
No wonder you found Missouri and Kansas boring by taking I-70. Both states are interesting if you cut across the top or bottom main routes across them, across the middle just sux. I seldom use I-70 myself, I usually take US 60 and cut across Northern Oklahoma mostly on 60 unless I'm in a hurry which I seldom am while on a trip.
Wait until you drive through central Colorado -
excellent scenery.Take the road that goes over Loveland Pass,
at the top of the Continental Divide.
What's your plans/route for the rest of the trip?

Where were you when I was broke down in Hays, Ks. Sunday? Gotta agree....I-70 from Kansas city to Denver ...zzzzzzz.....If your going on west I-70 I concour. Take Loveland pass over the divide. 12000 plus feet. Never been through the tunnel? Here's what ya miss. Only add a lot more traffic...they had the approach closed down to one lane for construction.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlvWm_cZPqg&feature=g-upl
...btw,hope ya brought yer own water with ya....yer gonna miss it bein from penna.......
when we went from virginia to denver in my mg we also took i-70. loved it so much that we took a different route home.
I use to live in Leadville and Dillon and made the trip dozens of times to eastern Pennsylvania to visit my parents. I confess never in an MG however I took my first wife to Colorado and back in my Porsche 914-6. The boring states on I70 were made very interesting and much quicker on the return trip. I drove straight thru (1854 miles) and in Kansas at night I blew by a Dino and we had a great high speed ride.
I did have a Austin 1300 while I lived in Colorado equipped Kleber pro winter rally tires and it was unstoppable.
