1965 MGB

OMIGOSH...that was my first car!!!! A white 65 MGB. It was sooooooooooooo fun...I LOVED driving with the top down. I loved driving Hwy 49 just for the fun of it.

Well, both days it worked, anyway ;-)

Dang, I miss having a convertible. Now that my daugther is older...

I had a '61 MGA during the winter of '70-71. Great car, felt like a WW2 British fighter....but....starting it in the dead of winter was tough...turn the key...wait for the glow light to reach a "cherry red hue" then press the clown's nose starter. If that didn't do it wait five minutes then try again. If after three attempts it was still no go then go to the boot and get the crank....yes, it had a crank...it also had "side curtains" instead of windows. I bought mine in October without them. Had to wait until February for delivery from UK....one cold winter with no side windows...but, when you're young...
