ReplyDeleteI've owned Two MGB's and my friend had an MGA but I haven't seen an MGA in "years", not counting the one I saw in Battersea. I know there is an active club here and they generally show up at the VanDusen British days on the May long weekend.
I liked the "La Vigilance", so sleek and sensuous looking . . . that's the one I would have. I would like to see you fly that thing. Seeing that you're in the pilot's seat, you're half way there

Riding the Wet Coast
Bob,
DeleteThere was quite the contingent of cars from the 'wet coast', with 150 in all from all over North America. Car blog to follow!
There is quite a story to the raising of La Vigilance. I am sure you could find the whole story online!
I think I would rather fly first class, as a passenger, sipping champagne as opposed to being in the driver's seat!
