Ken,
So I guess the feeling's mutual? ;) My last sentence came across too
strong. Most of the MGB folks I know are true entusiasts and great
people. But there's always the jerk in the crowd, and it's that
individual that I dislike. Heck, the guy down the street hated
"wedges", at least until he drove mine. Liked it more than his 'B!
He's an avid MGB guy, and a great guy. I, on the other hand, liked MGBs
until I drove his. Just kidding! They're nice cars, really, they are.
;)
