[AT] OT--Where's reverse on an MGB??--Varied results!

[Rob Gray]

I remember my dad had an MGA when I was a little kid. I'm not certain of 
the specifics but there was some sort of a conversion kit where you 
could put in a much more powerful engine in the car, and as I recall 
that car was very fast. The MGA was a nice looking vehicle as well.
