>From the Hattiesburg American:
"A classic 1979 MGB, red 49,000 miles, excellent condition."
I was feeling a bit machiavellian this morning so I called. An effervescent
18 year old answered the phone, and when I told her I was calling about
the MGB, she began her carefully rehearsed speech.
"The car is a 1979, and they stopped making them in 1980, so it's very
modern..."
"If it ever breaks down, I have this book called Victoria British Ltd.
Contrary to belief, it's easy to buy parts."
"It runs really good, except if you get stuck in traffic. Then it runs
kinda hot."
All in all, she was pretty smart about the MG. I asked her why she was
selling it, and she said she needed a bigger car to get to school.
If anybody wants a 'modern' MGB for $4500, let me know.
