I was a kid in the US in the late 1960’s. My friends mom bought a Triumph in the 1960’s. I loved how fun and sporty it was. She was a prematurely gray lady and it seemed like a midlife crisis, but, she had fun and took us for rides in it with the top down. We lived in the Northeast US and summers were not long, but it was a great car.

[@xa1a]

In 1972, my mum and dad drove an MGBGT from Toronto Ontario Canada to Vancouver BC. They documented the entire journey in an amazing journal, and lots of photos. Seeing that car, makes me want to track down the original car they drove and buy it back for my dad (who is now 82!)

The MGBGT is a great touring car. I drove one from Florida to Vermont for someone who had bought it there but didn't have the time to drive it back himself. Very comfortable with lots of luggage room. As it was verrry used, we had lots of trouble (tires, muffler, voltage regulator), but we had a terrific time in a wonderful sports car.

[@johnburns4017]

Voltage regulator? You were unlucky. A 15 minute job to replace.

[@bongdelonge8668]

Coming from classic car background to JDM and back again, I absolutely love the MG B GT. We've always had MGs in the family and they are honestly one of the best handling little cars. My dad had and MG A and then a very special MG B from the Paris motor show. He later sold this and went on to own 2 MG C's that he restored over a 10 year period. After selling the last one in 2020 I'm feeling the itch to get a B myself.

Mr. Hammond is unparalleled. He displays all of the qualities of a May presentation without the not-too-subtly hidden curled lip. Capturing the authoritative, take it to the bank factuality of a Clarke pontification without the pontificating. Please do this forever, Mr. May.

Everything in life comes down to chance from the moment of conception onwards, intelligence has almost nothing at all to do with financial success, a lot of the richest people around are also some of the dumbest, for those born into it when you start that high up it's almost impossible to fail, and these days the average person has some sort of degree therefore the majority must be of average intelligence, the best we can do is try to influence our chances with our decisions and actions but in the end it still always comes down to chance. I agree with the sentiment though!
