And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Back in HS I had a friend whose Dad drove an MG-TD. (Well, he drove it when it was running, which wasn't 100% of the time.) What a babe magnet!
I had a Lambretta 125LD at the time; you're right Tman2, I could wipe him out from a standing start. Still, my scooter didn't attract the gals, and that MG sure did. Sigh.
Here in SoCal I see all sorts of vehicles, but seldom do I ever see an old MG. They just don't seem to stay running all that well, though they sure are pretty.
Beautiful automobile. But as to speed, it couldn't get out of its own way. I've seen them beaten from a stop light by a souped-up Vespa.
