MGAs Come to Dayton, July 2012: Safety Fast!

What great cars!  My first car was a 1959 MGA 1500, so I have a special place in my heart for these vehicles. Until this morning I forgot just how much these cars sound like sewing machines when they start up, or how under powered they really are.  And so impractical, but I never quite thought about it when I owned one. No door locks, side curtains, two six volt batteries in series located behind the seats.
But there is nothing like driving one on a balmy evening towards dusk!
