I wholeheartedly agree with you on this point. Just the other day, I
passed a late rubber-bumpered MGB on the street and, since I was in the
TR7, I felt obligated to wave. The guy totally ignored me, actually
looked the other way! That is the first time that's ever happened to
me. For some reason MGB people insist on believing that the TR7 was
responsible for causing the collapse of the entire BL organization.
That's assanine! It's that mentality that makes me dislike the majority
of MGB owners.
