Hi gang - 

The recent postings regarding the
4WD/AWD/Turbo-Supercharged/Rocket-Boosted/MGB amphicars and half-tracks,
etc.; brings to mind a question:  At what point is a MGB no longer a MGB? 
At what point does the toyota-turbo powered "B" with a caravan transmission
and fiberglass fender flares stop being a "B" and become something other
than a MGB?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a purist, don't even really know what that is. 
But, if I remove the MG badges from my B and slap them on either end of my
windstar does it suddenly become a highly modified MGB?   I think not. 

When I purchased my 76' I bought a quirky, somewhat underpowered, british
automobile.  That's what I wanted, that's what I've got.  I guess I just
don't see the point in all the modifications proposed.  Possibly one
person's coolness is another's abomination....just thinking (yikes).
