I don’t need to tell you that July was hotter than a three dollar pistol. I believe that I had the B out more often with the top down in December and January than this July. When it’s in the 90s (temp/humidity) give me a closed car with AC. It did turn out to be a relatively nice day on the 21st when Steve Skegg hosted the engine swap on Geoff Morris’ MGB so I drove my blue B over, adding some color to the dammit red and BRG cars that were already there. And what a pleasant surprise. An air conditioned garage with a full lift. It almost made me want to work on my car. Almost.
