My buddy asked me if I still had "that little sports car" the other day. I told him I never owned a sports car. It's an MG. Yes, I get many compliments. But for every "love that little British car you have" story, I have many stories of vapor lock, electrical problems and not being able to climb the most gentle of hills.

I owned, was owned by, a 1967 MG Midget 1275 cc high compression, I found that it kept me off the streets. I bought this car in Caribou Me. in 1968 for $1500 and lived with it, through the maine winters, for 4 years, some 75,000 miles. I found it to be a fun little car if one were an aircraft mechanic, which I was. I have thought about buying another, but finding a good one at a reasonable price is getting to be difficult. The MG cashed in its chips on 27 Jan 1972 when the right front suspension caved in sending me into the bushes. I walked some 5 miles and bought a 1972 Ford Capri.
