I am presently restoring a 1970 MGB Split-bumper
Tourer. http://www.aubard.us/MGB

British cars must be maintained or they will fall
apart sitting in the garage!  Mind you, I
differentiate "maintenance" and "repairs". 
Maintenance is what you do to minimize repairs.

Obviously, I do too. :-)

Someday when my '98 SL500 daily driver just doesn't do
it for me any more, I plan to buy an Aston-Martin. 
And in the mean time, I'll drive my 308GTB and wrench
on my MGB.
