Under a sweltering Alabama sun and my father's watchful scrutiny I struggled with the stiff throttle and tree climbing first gear of his '63. Turns out that was easy compared to my driver's test administered on the road by a 300 lb Alabama State Trooper. Dad was 6'4" and could slide easily in and out of the deceptively lenghthy confines of the "B". Not so for the girth of my donut-fed trooper who tried to thwart the teast by questioning whether the car was street legal. His Stanley tape confirmed the Morris Garage's creation was legit and he was forced, literally, inside. I passed in what proved to be a shortened version of the standard meandering road test around my hometown.Greg Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01625186511306362414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1122514265607544420.post-25342154874041974262013-01-27T09:21:44.213-05:002013-01-27T09:21:44.213-05:00" MGB-GT "is also a the name of a great ..."
