If you do not still have an MG (pre 1974, of course), you are traitor to the Queen. The MGB was the finest car ever produced. It inspired poetry.

Drive an MGB
Drive the absolute best.
Drive 'bout a mile.
Walk the rest.

The myths about MGB unreliability are just that: myths! I have owned several MGBs that went literally hundreds of carefree miles between total overhauls. Miata? That's jap-lingo for "Pansy."

I loved my little "B". I bought it while I was stationed at Ft. Riley after it had just been completely restored by some folks at Victoria British over in Lenexa. I remember driving back home on I-70 on a warm, clear, spring night with the top down, and just marveling at the bowl of stars overhead that stretched across the flat Kansas horizon. 'Twas nights like those, which made those leaky roofs and gaskets worth it :-)
