Had a week off and did lots of driving

#1 Post by 3xpendable »

Got my MGB out of storage for the winter this week and what a week! I parked the daily driver and didnt use it for 9 days. Apart from a coil going and then the condensor she ran fine. Took her to the beach surfing etc and got the lovely picture near my parents old house (yes I grew up with that view).

On a sidenote, does the MGB GT have the sexiest back end ever?!

She looks great. :)

I'm putting miles on to mine too. Engine was rebuilt over the winter and I want to get to 1,800 miles and service before a trip to Le Mans. Ooo, that gives me an idea for a thread.
I went to the Cotswolds for a bit, but didn't get any views like that.

I also did this. And I agree. Although Pippa Middleton's is rather good too...!
