My Dad and his MGA
I am on this earth because of the car in the photo.
My Dad had that MGA in the Fifties and early sixties.
He attempted to sell it to finance a trip to Chile.
My mom called the ad in the Newspaper classifieds.
They went out on a date and she tricked him into staying by getting him to marry her.
He later sold the car and now has terrible taste in autos.

I dont know much about these cars, but I am truly enjoying watching your process and look forward to seeing yours in the condition as the one above.

I believe this is what my parents
were driving when they were
run into by a big chrysler.
Dad came out uglier than before
but sound. Mom lost most of
her left knee and almost bit
through her tongue. She said
she was spitting glass for weeks.
Subsequently Dad has refused to
own anything smaller than a Beetle.

Yeah,
In my advancing years I am a little concerned with ballistic autos driven by mongoloids.
These cars are'nt real forgiving when whacked by 3 tons of Detroit shit.
Funny though, their main marketing slogan was "Safety Fast"
I think once my MGA is operable I'll stick to country roads.

Awesome story Chauss, your father looks like Steve McQueen in this photo. I've owned a 1966 MG midget, 1967 MGB, and an 1961 Austin Healey Sprite, but I've always wanted an MGA or an MGB, but I never got around to it. Thanks for the story...
