The 60 mph winds we had for the past 3 days blew the covers off
the MGB so I went out to fix it today.  Just for grins I thought
I would take a shot at starting it and running the temp up before
covering it.  Started right up and ran really well.  So much for
the a bunch of myths like:
a) British cars are crap
b) gasoline cars (especially with carburetors) don't work when it
    gets cold

Gotta love it.
