Honest, really.

Some fellow purchased a
new 1980 MGB limited edition.  He drove it from
Salt Lake up to his place in
Heber, about 40 miles away.  He died a week or
so later.  Wow.

His son took
over the place, the MG sat in a heated outbuilding under wraps
for these many
years.  The daughter now wants to drive it.  The first time it
came into
Mike's shop it had just over 100 miles on it.  Friday when we put
in a new
fuel sending unit it was way up to 500.  The parts aren't wearing out,
they
are dying of boredom!  It even has the original tires.  Clean, unmolested,
wow.

She is thinking of driving it to New York this summer.  And yes, she
will put
new tires on it before doing so.

Personally if it were mine *I*
wouldn't put thousands of miles on it for a road
trip.
