That was fun to read. Brought me back. A brother had an MGB-GT that was a blast to drive on twisting country roads. In college years I did some work for a couple who collected British sports cars, allowing me the pleasure of tooling around in an MG Midget, Triumph TR3, Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite & 3000 Mk3, and a Sunbeam Tiger.
And I just might still have that vinyl Rush album around here somewhere
