My Winter MG Blues
While driving those last days, I started thinking about how much I will miss her this winter. I figure that if I can wrench on the MGB, I can also write a poem about her. So, this is my poem, titled, My Winter MG Blues:

What’s in Your Boot?
Watch my video of what I carry in my boot and let me know what I am missing….
My Birthday Drive
Today I went on a Birthday Drive with Michel and his new Miata. We stopped in Perth for a sandwich and coffee then again on the way home at The Swan on the Rideau for a drink and some appetizers. The Swan gave me a surprise Birthday mocha cheesecake at no charge.
I am honored to own such a SPECIAL MGB
Jim’s “B” was a late model “B” (a rubber bumper model but converted to chrome bumpers) and the seat belt arrangement was significantly different. The policeman had a hard time understanding why the seat belts in the two vehicles were so different if they both looked like the same year and model.
Dipstick – A Well Earned Title
The great news is that Chantal, my wife, fell in love with that horse and left a deposit. The not so good news is that I officially earned the title of DIPSTICK.
MGB Starter Falling Off, Cooling and Fluids, but still riding
I tapped the starter and solenoid and the car started, it still turned slowly, but my excellent tuning skills (lol) paid off because she started with one crank at 5 degrees Celsius outside.
I Love Her, I Love Her Not… MGB
Like with every love affair, there are fleeting affairs (one-night stands), short affairs that break-up within a year or two, longer affairs that often don’t make it through the seven-year line and finally, the true love affair that lasts a lifetime.
TR-3 A – The Car gets the Girl…
As I drove by, I stopped. She heard the exhaust or smelled the gas. She turned and smiled, and my response was, “I have an empty seat that seems more comfortable, interested?”.
Happy Toosh, Happy Drive :)
My immediate containment action was to stuff a folded towel under the seat to help keep it level.
UPS – Taking Frustration to a NEW Level
To bring the Frustration to a NEW level is quite simple. Due to COVID, Moss Motors does not have any more wheels to sell. They are all back ordered!
