Okay, I seen all these stories I have to tell mine. I just got my first
MG a month ago. 78'MGB. I wasn't sure I was ready to tackle the project
nor was I really sure I liked MG's. Well I took my 8 year old daughter for
a ride and did close the the same. At the stop light I would take off as
fast as an MG can goting up close to 4500RPM through all gears. She loves
it so much she wants me to take her to school everyday to show off infront
of her friends. If I only was 9 again. Just a note, I love this car and
wouldn't trade if for nothing. I told my daughter that when she turns 16
she could have the car. It will take me that long to restore it. HAHA.
Anyway thats my story.

My two best babe stories:
When I met my wife, she was 20 years old and driving a 73 MGB. Myself, a
big
block Chevy man thought, "Boy that's a neat little car". Twelve years, 15
MGB's, a TR6, a TR7, an MGA, and two (almost three) children later, we
still
have the original 73 she drove. My wife can't blame me, she was the source
of
the addiction......
Last summer I came home from work. My son (age three) met me on the front
porch. "Bye bye 6? " he asked. (translation: let's take a ride in the
TR6).
I took him and his 6 year old sister for a ride. After riding down the
street, I stopped at the stop sign and took off, running the car up to 4500
rpm each time while going through the gears. At each shift, the kids heads
jerked back, but they never said a word. When I reached the end of the
road,
I stopped at the stopsign, and leaned forward to check for traffic.
Simultaneously, my daughter leaned forward, looked me in the eye and said,
"Do
that again Daddy!" Obviously, I obliged. What an experience.
