Hmmm, blue lights behind the grille.... Maybe some green neon to
match the paint... You may have created a monster! Just kidding, my
taste isn't THAT far gone.
One the subject of what's proper for MGB's, maybe someone can
explain this to me. In the car I owned prior to the MGB, I had put
about $3500 into the stereo, and competed with it in Texas. Keep in
mind, this wasn't a "boom" system, it was very accurate and pleasing.
Anyway, I've had the 'B' for seven months now, and it doesn't even
HAVE a radio. And you know what, I don't care! I still get off
hearing the engine. The most I'm considering doing is putting in a
CD player, and some component speakers in the kick-panels. What is
it about these cars that we'll do without tunes, AC, a decent heater,
or just about any other creature comforts?
