My 1978 Limited Edition MGB
  It started as a trip to Traders Village in Houston to see the British Car Show to relive memories of my 1969 MGB that I had to sell back in '82 due to finances and the need for a more reliable daily driving car. Young and broke, we've all been there. I've regretted selling that car ever since. 
        At the car show I was busy taking pictures of some of the finer MGB's, Midgets, and Bugeye sprites when I noticed a very run down 68 mgb for $650. Major rust, dented fenders, 4 flat tires, etc.  Its what I thought I would have to settle for, and rebuild bottom up. Looking for my wife to show her the car, and explain the possibilities it had, I found her... Negotiating with an owner of a 1978 MGB. Figuring she was just bluffing, I went along with the charade. The gentleman came down on his price to a reasonable $2500, and my wife surprised me with a very early 40th birthday gift. (I'm still smiling)

MGB-GT

(Peter Tork)

        Lately my mind is drifting back
        To former days that used to be.
        I think about some folks I knew and of my MGB-GT.
        People let me tell you that if I had to make a recipe
        For fun in driving I would have to spell it MGB-GT.

        Cruising, using, choosing it,
           amusing myself without a care;
        Striving, thriving, hot-rod driving,
            not arriving anywhere.

        Folks, this little car of mine
           was like a kitten purring throatily.
        Sometimes it even seemed to soar
            into the heavens, my red MGB-GT.

        Tooling, fueling my good feeling,
            schooling me in ways to know
        Soaring, flooring it, adoring it,
            my little way to go.

        Folks, this little car of mine
           was like a kitten purring throatily.
        Sometimes it even seemed to soar
            into the heavens, my red MGB-GT.

        But I, I learned you have to lose some things
           before you treasure them,;that's how it goes.
        And I, I didn't give time to my car
            and lost my car to time; what did I know?

        And so life carries on,
        And lots of things are better now for me.
        And yet I think back on those golden times
        When I had my red MGB-GT.
