Ah......the 60's

Re: Ah......the 60's

It does seem the narrow, winding lanes of the gorgeous English countryside are most conducive to open-top motoring in a small, nimble two-seater. A friend of mine in London owned a Mazda M5 Miata (he described it as "an MG without the oil leaks") and he introduced me to that pleasure one weekend.

Bingo. My dad had an MG when I was growing up. Most of my memories of it concern him working on the damn thing trying to get it running again. But there were a few glorious times when he took me out in it and I never forgot those.

Eventually got a 2001 Miata Special Edition in British Racing Green. Still have it, had to replace the top a few times, but other than than no real issues.

And on those few rapturous days, there's nothing quite like it when we go out.

The classic MGA 1600 is a looker




as is the Triump GT6 of the same era
