Fun fact: This was my dad's first car he bought himself.

This is just a google image. I THINK it was the same color.

I'm not even a "car person", and I wish he had kept this.

Although, admittedly, that was more about my google prowess rather than first hand knowledge.

Starting with it being 'old' and a 4 cylinder, as noted on the tach, I knew it had to be something small, but I didn't recognize anything, other than I knew that steering wheel with the metal rods connecting the center hub to the rim was unique, and vaguely familiar. First shot was a VW of some sort, but the temp gauge made me rule that out. A google of Smith's instruments gauges led me to the oil pressure gauge of a Mini cooper, but the mounting of the instruments in front of the steering wheel ruled that out because Mini's have them centrally mounted. Another search of Smith's instruments tachometer 4 cylinder led me to an ebay listing for an MG tach.

Follow up, I believe it to specifically be an MGB, late 60's?

One of those things might get you in more trouble than the other....


The weird part is...I'm not actually sure which is which? I mean, full up naked, prolly worse. Just bouncy in a t-shirt...might be bad mouthing the mods...

Although, I mean with the excellent mods we have around here, there'd be no reason to do that anyway...

:unsure:
 
Sorry, that wasn't my intention. I thought it might come off poorly. But now you know how 55 feels about it so in a way I helped.

Do you follow MLB, Vikes? The Twins? The only thing that has salvaged my MLB gambling season is the Twins just absolutely mashing lefties. What's the deal?

Yeah man. I'm a big twins fan. What sort of bet do you have that is affected by that?

It's just FanDuel. I always play Dozier, Plouffe and Mauer when they face a lefty. Sometimes Hunter, sometimes Escobar. It's nuts how good they are.
 
Whar Boxster? I fully expected to be congratulated minimally because of my internet sleuthyness. Man, you can't just drop a challenge and not be there to congratulate the successful challenger, man!

Ahh I should have guessed FanDuel. Dozier has been jacking homers lately. He's one of my favorites. Great defensively. I'm hoping to go to a game in the next few weeks.
