MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - First time in 20 years, I have NO GO in a M.G.V-8

In 1996, we got 18+ inches of snow BUT me & the G.T., we were out & going with ALL the 4 wheel drive trucks & S.U.V.s. But today I went out the door & looked for my G.T. & she was GONE!!!! After looking for a while I looked under this lump of snow & found her, so I had to call 911 back. I have run a M.G. V-8 for 20 years & the ONLY time she has been shut down! BUT it took 29+ inches of snow + the drifts.

What's the matter Glenn, lose your shovel?

Glen, here in Sunny Buffalo, 29 inches of snow is a dusting. We worry about the snow when we get into the yard measurement. Now Get out there with your shovel and broom and get that V8 cleaned off. Stop being a wimp.By the way My V8 is comming along nicely and hope to have it together this summer.

There is nothing worse than being on the wrong end of a shovel!!!! What I did is lower the L.E. spoyler & made a M.G.B. V-8 SNOW PLOW!!!!!!!!

Well...hate to tell you this guys, today I was working in the shop with my usual summer shorts and door wide open and 60's music. A very nice cool 68 degrees in Ca.

Glenn, have you consider installing hydraulics on the LE spoiler?
I hope everything is well with all of you.
Stay warm!

Hey Glenn
Hope you dig out before the V8 show !!!!!

I think we might get dug out by the show in May, if we have any luck. We still have not had a plow come by yet.

That�s a long time to go without driving your MGB. It looks like the whole country got extreme weather, even here. Because it never snows here the closest we got to a blizzard was the first measurable rain in over a year.
George Champion

Hey Glenn --you dont need a spoiler up here --just a block heater --last Sat it was minus 26 F and we didnt get a flake of snow in the big east blizzard--weird winter --all the major snowfalls have been south of us this year but Feb cold as charity.--Global warming --HA!
Heres to an early spring and my Bs back on the road.
