Does that *ever* bring back memories! I was in school for 6 months, had just gotten a room in a house, before i had the opportunity (and a place to put it) to drive 170 miles so i could pack my hifi and LPs into my MGB GT and drive it back. Man was that a happy change of events!
Plus the "B" didn't break the whole trip!
