Getting Rev'd Up....
Created on 2008-05-26 18:28:33
A formal introduction to get things going.
I am not unfamiliar to MG Midgets though it has been a number of years since I've owned one. Rather, "she" owned me. I was broke in by a beautiful, flirtatious little '66 British Racing Green model. And she demanded my attention more often than not. However, her demands were rewarded with countless hours of driving exhilaration and sheer pleasure. I sold her after starting a family as is unfortunately, the way it goes in numerous similar cases. Baby carriages do not sit well in a Midget.
After years, decades of thinking about my little BRG honey, I bit the bullet and reclaimed my memories by purchasing a '72 RWA on a whim. The deal was righteous, paper work in order and soon enough I had another LBC sitting in the driveway. Only this time, my little ones are Grandchildren! I call them "The Smallsville Gang". They absolutely fell in love with the "new" old MG Midget.
The middle grandson was in awe of the Midget from the moment he laid eyes on it. And after scoping it out in great detail, opening doors, testing the steering wheel and looking under the hood, he noticed the nomanclature, "MG" on the deck lid. He asked me what "MG" meant and of course, I replied, Morris Garage. (As a side note, I am a musician and have a nice stable of guitars. I name my guitars. I have Ruby, RubyToo, Scarlet and Rose to mention a few.) So it came as no surprise, as I watched it being mulled over in his little head, when No. 2 grandson said, "Grandpa, I think we should name the MG, Morris". That only made sense to me! :) "Morris", it is.
And this will be the Journal of "Morris The Midget".
