Way back in the dark ages, I had driven down to Ft. Leonard Wood from KC
for the Star to cover the dedication/opening of a new military hospital
there. On the way back, my pretty much trashed out MG-A that I bought
cheap with 100,000+ miles on it caught fire. Seriously. Car went up in
smoke and there was a small explosion. This was at dusk on a
Missouri country road. I removed the plates, hitched to a nearby hick
town and luckily was able to catch a Trailways or Greyhound back to KC.
Hell, the car might still be here, being used as a planter.

Yeah, if my fading memory serves, the damned battery was under a seat
and maybe there were two of them. Impossible to get to... Pretty car,
though. And it ran pretty good until it caught on fire. I "upgraded" to
a Volvo PV544. Solid car, really good.
