I had an MGB, too. Lots of fun driving it...when it ran. Only had it 18 months but during that winter, we would put the top down, rolled-up the windows and turned the heater up full blast while driving on 2-lane country roads. It was a blast!

I came “that close” to buying a TR6 - loved that car!!!. But my wife was pregnant and didn’t believe me when I said I could fit the baby in the “back seat”.

I’ve always preferred smaller, sports-sized cars that had great handling vs larger comfort couches - although I did drive an Infinity - midsize model - that had decent handling.

“When it ran”. Words to live by. LOl!

My last sports car was a 1985 Mercedes 260, 16 valve, 5 speed. It was a grey market so all the parts had to be ordered from Stuttgart on about a 7 day wait but I loved it. I had it painted lacquer black with red pinstripes and I ran pirrelis on the front and Yokohama’s on the back so it was slightly jacked up. No catalytic converter so my mechanic would tweak it down once a year and he would take it up the street to his emission guy and get it passed and then tweak it back up and I’d be good to go. Every guy in Atlanta wanted to buy that car off me. I finally decided to act my age and sold it to a 17 year old kid. Now I drive a Honda CRV. :-)
