Asleep For The Winter
Created on 2007-11-11 17:59:37
Well I decided with frost on the ground and snow in the air last Wednesday that it was time to put the old girl to bed for the winter this year. I had the B out last weekend and it runs great- but hates the cold mornings. I put on 2098 miles on the MG this year and had no problems except for tearing off the whole exhaust on the way to a cruise night on a steel bridge with a steep approach angle. Even that could have been avoided if I was more careful about my routes! It didn't stop us from going to the cruise night anyway! So now the car related project is working with my son on his '75 Dart. We put the engine back in that about a week ago. We should have it running again by December. I'll keep in touch on MG events during the winter.
