Now that we are in our rainy season here in Pennsylvania, I'm commuting with the top up on my '66B roadster. How I wish MG had designed a taller windshield on this car. For a 6'4" driver its tough be

I'm 6' and love the MG, though I'm driving a GT which has about 3" more windshield height. I scream every time I try to drive one of the newer "sporty-type" vehicles because there is no legroom, the

On this subject I am very aware of this problem. I am 6'2" and on my 77MGB long trips tend to put a cramp in my right leg, due to no cruse control. I did take out the third strap under my set to sit

No way, man. Try sitting tall in the saddle and looking down at the light's reflection in the scuttle just beyond the windshield. Even easier at night. Maybe not so easy depending on the color and c
