MGB: Picture through the windshield (add yours)

Some days you just have to be happy to be driving Your MG. I was on my way to work this morning and was greeted with a really nice sunrise. It is supposed to be 80 degrees today (funny because we still have snow on the ground in places), so the top is going down. Picture is a little fuzzy due to it being taken while driving.
What is the view out your windshield?
Bruce

Very nice!!!!!!

I didn't take one today and I'm already at work, so here's a past "through the windscreen" photo...

Mine is in my avatar. When this happens - don't honk the horn!

in the mountians.

Last June at the British V8 meet in North Carolina.

I took this one on a club drive a few years ago. MG's in front and MG's behind.

In the middle of nowhere having a blast:

MG 2009, somewhere between Leadville and Breckenridge.

Here's one from British rolling car day in San Diego. It's more of an over the windshield shot . Very fun day !

Bringing up the rear on a NY Metro drive a couple of years ago.

Here's one from a local run. Ten points to anyone who can identify the make and model of all four cars.

From the 71 GT looking at the 69 B.

OK, so what if they're both in my driveway at the moment......

Riley Elf, / Wolseley Hornet, Honda?, B GT.

Not the direction intended or even going anywhere interesting, but my favourite view all the same.

Roger, you got two of the four. You get five points so long as no one takes all ten by naming the rest. ;)

MGB GT, Suzuki Cappuccino Wolseley Hornetet, MG TC?

Whoa, that was dangerously close! So close that I had to do some quick research to see if I could judge it correct. Alas, there is a technicality that prevents a perfect answer.

So Ben has 3 out of 4 correct and is on the right track with the remaining car.

MGB GT, Suzuki Cappuccino, Riley Elf, MG TC?

Bingo! :) You now have ten points, sir. Don't spend them all in one place! :D

I must say I'm impressed that you got the Suzuki right.

not the best picture...Clocks wrong..:eyeroll:

Took the B out for a run in the Yorkshire Dales a couple of weeks back - here's a shot out of the front.
And a bit of video

Tell you what, I'll pay you ten points for that MGC of yours? Good, that's settled then. I'll be on the plane tomorrow morning to come and pick it up - it better have sills and green door locks!

Seriously though, I'm not sure how many Cappuccinos there are in the USA, but there are a fair few kicking around this side of the pond. :)

And out the back - being tailed by an E-Type

I know of only two here in Southern California - one convertible (pictured) and one hard top, which I don't have a photo handy of. I believe they were both imported directly from Japan within the past few years.

If your points can be traded in for large amounts of cash then you have a deal on the MGC! Then again, while it does have sills it does not have green door locks so perhaps you wouldn't want it. By the way, you're a clever one because it took me several minutes to figure out what the heck you were talking about! Well played. :)

I can't seem to find any out my windshield, but I know I have them.. so here's one sort of out my driver's side window of a derecho

Like them all.......but Mike! Yours really does it for me!! Great pic!

This was taken entering the Badlands, although the scenery isn't the best. Don't believe the GPS. :D

Another near Mt. Rushmore...

Hunt country NOVA.

Opps...

Thanks! :) Here's another, not a windshield shot though:

OK I'll play along...this is is a sign you don't like to see in an MG:)

and the road that goes with it...

one more... a shadow of myself

and is it just me or are we all spending too much time taking photos while driving?B)

Here is my mine of Mt Rushmore but it wasn't through the windshield of an MG:

Here are several cell phone photos through my windshield but non of these are MG either. P4 is Huntington Beach:

This is a bit different. It's my car in front of me.

The guy I bought the car from was kind enough to trailer it home for me so I snapped a picture while following him.

Kevin

On a tour through the forest south of Ashland, Wisconsin - Rendezvou 09.

All these shots are great! Good thread. Here is my favorite, taken at Portland International Raceway during 'press and volunteer rides'. Made the front page of the Portland newspapers the next day. Sorry guys, it's an A, not a B......RZ

If I'm not apologizing for the TCs then you don't need to apologize for the A. And by the way, the book says it's 10 and 2-o'clock. ;)

Well it's not an MG but it is through the windshield.

That's cheating - you didn't have to drive down that road. :D

Howdy folks,

Here is my first picture on my first drive of my new MGB. It was taken with a humble Blackberry phone, but I couldn't resist the view.

Best regards,
mike

Nice pics all!
Michael, welcome to the forum and posting first pic :beer:
Love the flying pics too.

OK, I finally left work and got a photo not only of today, but of a B. Too dark to go through the windscreen, especially with the worst in-phone camera on the planet, but here is the sunset that I would see through the windscreen a few minutes later...

PS... no, I don't read signs very well.

The Continental Divide in Montana. Driving home to Winnipeg from Seattle with our "new" 80B, purchased from Jay and Hilary Musgrove - June 08.

A picture of my GT through another B's window (thanks Jen) on the way to a Track Day

Steve, it was Daylight Savings Time, so 10 & 2 didn't apply.

LOL! I'm more of a 9 and 3 man myself anyway. ;)

Hwy 60, north Georgia

OK, I found one! This was taken in Dallas of a car I tried to catch, but couldn't.

The Duffy Lake Road taken during NAMGAR GT32 in 2007
Fun road!
Ralphie...I would comment on your pit crew, but won't, in case she is your daughter!:eyepop:

Cheers,
Rich

Rich, you know better than that....she told me she was your wife!

Would this one count? Last winter while traveling from Spokane to S. Cal, in my B, I was heading down I5 and coming up on a great shot of Mt Shasta and while fumbling with my camera it went of and this is the result. Anyone else have some missed pics?

BRad

This is the pic I was after.

...racing through the Back country roads...:thumbsup:

Nice Shot John!

Hmmm......Could well be. I'm gonna have to get my beer goggles checked.

Actually, she does look a little bit like a gal I went out with long before she was born!

Last one!

I like that one, Marty. Seven cars in one shot. :)

I found another, taken in Colorado this year:

Very Cool Shot Gary!

Here is one of Ric Willis in front of us on the way to Prince Rupert BC.

Today

Taken one year ago by Ron Hassel in a TR , Brenda is driving while I navigate. We are approaching Pilot Mountian in NC on "The Three Peaks Tour."

Going into New Orleans this year.

A couple from today's ride out with friends.

Somewhere in rural PA coal country on a gray day. This was downtown Blacklung, or Coal Tar PA. One of those names.

Hunting for 6th gear...
