: Does a 1972 MGB qualify? Not a Porsche but still a fun car to Noodia
: drive. British racing green and the car has overdrive.
: Unfortunately, mine's been languishing in my garage the past 15
: years so no pic at this time. Some idiot hit my MG in a parking
: lot, the cop wrote the report up incorrectly, didn't want to
: correct the error feigning memory of the accident (he was
: retiring within 2 weeks of the "accident") and I was
: out in the cold regarding reimbursement without a legal fight. I
: had made the stupid mistake of dropping comprehensive insurance
: clause coverage back then as my lead foot had resulted in a
: fairly steep auto insurance premium and I could save over $1K
: having just basic insurance for a car I only drove on weekends.
: Yup, one of life's hard learned lessons. Well, I've aged and
: matured since then and now drive like an old lady to avoid the
: formerly frequent speeding tickets. Now my insurance is much
: cheaper so I always go for the premium insurance coverage. Long
: story short, I kind of lost interest in spending more money on
: the car and was pretty bitter over this experience. Watches,
: antique radios and tube audio equipment hobbies have consumed my
: discretionary income since then but eventually I'll bite the
: bullet and put this cute car back on the road. At least its dry
: and warm in the garage in the interim!

: So I guess the answer to your question is, I was once a sports car
: enthusiast and probably will be again in the future when I
: decide to spend a few grand on the car. However, in the
: meantime, I'm afraid I'd rather buy a Jo Siffert or 1133G Monaco
: so The MGB will probably have to wait another year or so.
: Somehow I just can't allow myself to let it go and sell it,
: though!
: Steve
