Jim,
I too use my MG stable as daily transportation. I
lived in Colorado for 26 years. During that stay, I
had two MG daily drivers at the same time. My 1974
B-gt was purchased in 1984, my 1976 B- roadster two
years later. I put many thousands of miles on both..my
wife drove the roadster.
Coast to coast motor trips were a summer reality
most years..Yes, we did have our "adventures", but
they added to the MG story as they related to our
life.
I will not trade a second of that life for
anything..I live in Wv now..have the same two MG
cars..and drive them year round..maintaince is a way
of life for these cars...so is loving every mile I
spend with my wife and out two MG time machines.
