Bob,
I used to have an MGB-GT when I was in my 20s, (Can't recall the model year,
..but well before the ride height adjustment and the big bumpers). I had more
fun with that car than any other I have ever had. I wish I still had it.
I just meant that to the average onlooker, any LBC is "an MG or something".
(Ever have to replace a "gulp valve"?)

  I was going to reply to your post and defend the honor of my one owner
  1971 MGB-GT until I remembered the day a few years ago when a guy asked
  me, "what year is your Pinto"? They can't get any worse than that!

  Cheers

  BJ7 and a 1971 pinto look alike
