My car doesnt drive right now, but I used to drive alot.  I used to take my
77B from WI to FL 2x a year or more.  Thats 1300 miles one way, and this was
a daily driver and my only driver,  and I never had a problem...except a
flat tire in KY once...

Speaking of mileage I am surprised when anyone has an MG with less than 100K
on it.  I tend to think the car was abused (not driven) or the owner is
incorrect at how many miles are on their car......I havnt owned an MG yet
that had under 100K on the clock.  I wish these things had an extra diget so
in another bunch of years there can be contests at highest mileage car
etc...

Example even if you only drove you LBC for 6 months out of the year you
would only have to drive 55.5 miles a day to hit 10K miles a year, and that
is 100K miles every 10 years....and the youngest MGB is still 19 years
old....Although the lucas grmlin and other factors would have ot factored
in....
