An MGB from the Pacific northwest club tour is seen against the hotel sign where the group overnighted in Sidney, BC. Out of sight in the background is the beautiful ocean-side drive where I parked a Mazda5 I'm currently test-driving for About Cars, although I seized the moment to grab some photos of the test vehicle. In case you're curious you may be interested to learn that I plan to critique it as "the most intelligent family vehicle on the face of the planet." But getting back to the tour, I trust you'll agree that the MGB is the ultimate affordable sports car, at least until the Miata's been around long enough to enjoy vintage status.
