Our new baby

Project: 

It's a 1969 MG Midget with a factory removable hard top. For a 40 year old car, it doesn't look a day over 15. :D I've wanted an MG at least since I was in high school, but could never afford a nice one, and never really looked for a nice one. Yesterday, we spotted the perfect MG - California car, garage kept most of it's life, low miles for a car this old (95k), and recently painted. Not the greatest paint job in the world, but it keeps the rust off! It looks great unless you're 2 feet away and picky. It's going to be a real blast to fix this baby up. Most of the work is already done, but it needs little things here and there.

Yes, they actually called the car a 'Midget'.  That might be considered politically incorrect these days.

On a recent trip to Dodgeville with the Madison British Car Group, a kitty took a liking to our car.  :D

On our way home from Dodgeville, we followed this car, a '64 Lotus Elan. If you want to test your driving skill, follow a LOTUS!

Eek!  How could you not fall in love with that toothy grin?

We took it to a local car show.  We were the only british car in a lot full of Detroit iron.  And easily the smallest engine!!

We named the car 'Woodstock', so the white flowers are appropriate, don't you think?
