Look out, Omaha....here I come!
Took the MGB/GT on its "true" maiden journey today (meaning a trek of over ten miles round trip) to the Champagne British car Festival in Bloomington, IL.
It performed flawlessly....which pleased me to no end. I'm sure there will be a few things to sort out.....but my confidence in the car was boosted trremndously. ONE WEEK AWAY!!! |

Re: Look out, Omaha....here I come!
Exciting times Rick! Enjoy it and hopefully none of those "few things to sort out" bite you on the trip. At least of they do you'll be in good company and I'm sure will be able to quickly sort it out. 500 miles is just a bunch of 10 mile trips strung together :)

Hi Rick
May you have no unexpected side-of-the-road adventures. And watch out for the speed traps. Sorry I won't be there for a ride in you pride and joy. Have too much fun and post pixil proof |
