I've heard that my 70 MGB GT will not be fun to drive in the rain. Can someone expound/explain? Also, anyone have a record for the shortest amount of time to take an engine out and take it apart (hea

Don't think I agree with that at all, my roadster is a blast to drive in the rain (hood up, of course.) The wipers and defroster (demister?) work fine, and it doesn't leak much. The handling is still

Funnest snow story, I have on a B. Mine was stuck in a parking spot in a foot of snow. I started it up, but the back right tire would spin, since the car was somewhat in a ditch. I left it running in

I think mine runs fine in the rain, and there's something cozy and raw about running with the pounding rain and the three little wipers and the soft dashboard glow and so forth. I like it. I think it

Maybe a solution to the brakes getting wet and not working in the rain would be to have air continually blowing on the front brake rotors? A small air pump (maybe like a fish tank air pump) split off
