I've loved little British cars since seeing a TR4 on a summer night in 1973. From 1976-1980 I owned a '71 MGB, "The flexible flyer" and it taught me a lot. In 1983 we bought the '73 MGB "The old girl" license OUR MG that we still have all these years later. We taught both our Kids to drive and love cars in the MGB. OUR MG is more than a car, she's part of the family.

Beautiful Day For A Convertible

Posted on: Wednesday June 19, 2013

MG at work

Today was sunny and in the 70's so I took the B to work. She ran perfect but I admit I was apprehensive for the first few miles. Maybe there was something in the gas my last fill up but I shouldn't have to adjust the carbs that often. All is well anyway.

Tweaking SU's

Posted on: Sunday June 16, 2013

After a beautiful 40+ mile ride to and from work Thursday, I had an old friend come to visit on Friday. As he is a car nut and ex formula V racer we took the B out for a spin with him and again with his girlfriend. On the second trip around the block the B started to sputter under load going up a hill, but no big deal. Did the same thing again on Saturday so I checked and adjusted the carb mixture as they were a little off. After two sequentially longer check rides it seems alright again. I wo...

Fueling Up With Non- Ethanol

Posted on: Wednesday June 12, 2013

Fill er up

I filled up "the old girl" with non ethanol today. I've been lucky to have a plentiful choice of stations carrying non ethanol- specifically Sunoco premium non ethanol for the past couple of years. Before that it was hit and miss to find gasoline not containing 10% ethanol in the past few years. its a little more expensive but I've been averaging 27-28 MPG so I'm happy!

Bristol Fun Day

Blown Chevy V8 65 MGB

Tiny Bristol New York had their fun day with a car show, booths of exhibitors, fire dept chicken BBQ, music and book sale. It's a slice of Mayberry RFD. We Gomorrah every year with the MG and enjoy ourselves. This year the fellow with the blown Chevy powered MGB showed up and it was fun to see folks compare our two MGBs.
