				How many MG owners?
			 
			
			Here is a picture of my 74 B. I finished my restoration 10/05.

			Last one I owned was a '69 B-GT with over-drive.  I commuted daily in it from Sarasota to Tampa when I was attending USF.  The paint from a recent restoration was barley dry when it was totaled!  It broke my heart!  After fighting for months with the insurance company, I ended up with about $5,000 and the car.  Because of all the towing and storage fees, I sold it to the yard for next to nothing.  I had no place to keep it!

			I didn't know the meaning of "money pit" until the 930 cast it's evil spell...

			Nice MG-B....I had a '67 MG Midget in college.....Traded straight across for a '59 Austin Healey 100-6.....That led to a '62 XKE Roadster......Then a Fiat 124, 912 and now 2 911's.....

			I had an MGA back in the day.  For some time now I've had the idea I'd like to find an MG TF1500 ('54/'55) just to tool around in once in a while.  A decent stock one would probably cost a bunch.

			I have a B waiting for sills and floors. It seemed like such a simple project when I started... I still had hair back then too. I still keep my eye out for a GT or an A, I still think the A is one of the best looking cars ever produced.

			I had the MGA, two Austin Healey 100-4s, and a '59 TR3.  What I really liked was driving without a top.  With the TR3, you could almost drag your fingers on the road - the way the door was shaped with the panel going downward.  Really cool.

			Had a 67 MGB, British racing green. Can't say I really liked it. Fixed it up and traded it for some classic American iron.

			If I ever saw a really nice '62 MGA for sale, I'd be sorely tempted...

			I owned two Midgets in my younger years, a white 1970 and red 1973.  Fun little cars and my first foray into DiY'ing automotive maintenance and repairs.

			I have a 52 MGTD which is about 95 % done and a old rusty mgbgt.  First MG was a MGA in college.  Seems I have had a MG of some description ever since.

			I had a '79 in college. I put some downdraft carbs, headers and Ansa exhaust on it and it was pretty fun. I cant imagine ever getting hit in the thing, talk about a tin can.

			I had a 65 roadster.  Loved that car.  Simple to fix.  Never let me down.  Cheap parts.  It was a great ride.

Chris...I thought seriously about it when you suggested some sort of trade for my old car...alas, I already knew where it was going.  The "buyer" didn't know then. 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Damn, I love that pic. Just cool looking as all get out, and very "period correct".

			Chris, trust me...a '72 911S isn't that big a deal... 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
			Well, maybe it is. I sure have zero interest in anything Porsche makes these days.    Always like the '62 MGA...the last year, with it's crazy setback Grille & sideways tail lights. last of the true MG roadsters, still side curtains, no wind up windows.

			I have a TD too, but mine is a 53'.  Spent about 8 years restoring it.  It's a blast to drive....  even with 54 bhp!
