1999-06-12 One of my BEST MG memories:
My older son had moved home for a short while and attended GaTech. I had a lot of work performed on the MG and it was parked in the carport. I love going out to eat. When I returned home from work, my son was home from GaTech and he asked me if I wanted to ‘go somewhere’ for supper. I said “sure” and asked where he would like to go. One of his favorite restaurants was Chipolte. I had never been to one and asked him if one was near us. He pulled out his relatively new iPhone and said that it’s 4 miles. I looked at his phone and it was near the hospitals close to us. We started to leave the house and he asked “Want to take the MG?” (We had never driven it very far as it often broke down. The rule was to drive somewhere near the house so if it broke down, we could walk home.) I replied “sure” and he said that he would drive. It was a beautiful summer afternoon and we put the top down. We made it to the restaurant and had a wonderful meal. After going outside to get into the car, we noticed a large, dark cloud over the area where we had to drive and get home. He looked at me and asked, “Do you think we can get home before getting wet?” I replied “I don’t know, but let’s try.” About half of the way home, we were driving through a residental neighborhood and felt a few drops of rain as we cleared driving under some trees. A short distance away was a stop sign and a large tree near it. He stopped under the tree and I got out and pulled the top over the seats. He fastened down the convertible top clamps and we continued the drive on the way home. Just after turning the corner, the rain poured out of the cloud and it was very heavy. A jogger on the street got completely wet as well as a woman pushing a baby in a stroller. We looked at each other and said how glad that we were that we put the top up. I had some towels in the front and we had a few drops come under the top and get our clothes wet. We returned home without further incident – just a little wet and very happy to have a great outing.
