Pearline, the '72 MGB

MGB on a trailer

All revved up with somewhere to go. Hope to see lots of other LBCs at Brits in the Ozarks.

I check Reddit's front page before coffee for the same thing. If and when it happens, I'll add a bit of Bailey's and Bushmill's to my coffee for a treat.

I replaced something far less interesting on mine for a properly designed and mounted canister from Moss a few years back.

I go to car shows often and I talk to other owners.

Nearly everyone I speak to that says "I used to have an MG" (or a Triumph) always finishes with "I wish I still did."

I Did Something Stupid I’m going to confess to something really stupid that I did a few months ago.

The trigger on my impact driver was broken & the plastic bits prevented me from using it facing up. Definitely a problem for mechanicing & deck building. Tore it down & put it together with the same number of screws. I'm calling that a win. Perfect reason for a British ale on a Sunday afternoon.

My pleasure, Michael. I also posted links to the starter pack on the Reddit LBC group and on MGEXP.

Had a young guy flag me down last week driving a 2018 124 Abarth in charcoal gray. It was really slick looking. I looked online for them, but the scarcity is a bit worrying to get parts.

I love my LBC and she'll stay with me to the end, but I'm thinking about something modern with a removable top. Have driven a '25 MX-5 but a vintage colo(u)r Bronco Sport is also a thought.

Here's a beginning starter pack for classic Little British Cars. Feel free to send me your finds and we'll promote it.
