ScarredKnightfan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 *Anyone into MGs? Family friends had a white convertible (black top) back in the 1980s; I rode in it a few times &, as a youngster, was fascinated (for lack of a better term) by the 3 windshield wipers vs. the conventional 2! While it seems a popular color is British Racing Green, of these 3, which color do you prefer: red, yellow or blue?http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/01/01/friday-files-47/ While the rusty truck is interesting, the building behind it is somewhat of a mystery. Any ideas what it is!?http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/01/02/saturday-smorgasbord-48/ Among other things, today (well, 01/03/2016) is National Fruitcake Toss Day! Not sure where they come up with things like this, but I bet many people love to toss fruitcakes. Meantime, a gorgeous red Chevelle is featured:http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2016/01/03/from-the-heart-196/ Cort > www.oldcarsstronghearts.compigValve.paceMaker.cowValve | 1979 Caprice Classic (needs new owner)"I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower" __ Counting Crows __ 'A Long December' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidAU Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 All the MG's I've seen have only 2 wipers. The E type Jags have three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The final generation of MGB's {the ugly rubber bumper ones} had 3 wipers. Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think the truck is a 51 - 52 Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidAU Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 "The final generation of MGB's {the ugly rubber bumper ones} had 3 wipers" Ok I wasn't aware that they had this change and I've never seen / noticed one so I'll humbly retract my statement.

ScarredKnightfan Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Appears to me to ba a boarded up bungalow. Similar to my thoughts, Greg! Others, tho, have suggested other roles for the building, which seem plausible, too. My guess now is that it was used for multiple purposes during its lifetime. Whatever the case is, I'd love to explore it ... LOL! In the photo with the yellow MG, the rest of the cars are Fiats. EXCELLENT!!!! You are now the 2nd person to have caught this; it makes me smile when people show they're doing more than just glancing at things. Thank you!!! Fruitcake = good door stop LOL! Yes, I'd say so. However, 3 people on another forum claim to have had awesome fruitcakes. I told all 3 of them I wish they could send me a sample.
