A second dose of Dash
At its launch in 1965, the MGB GT was hailed as an affordable and practical sports car. It was not often described as having “definitely awesome super horsepower” — but this one was. Our 1968 MG earned that name when I was driving home with my eight-year-old son, Caeden, soon after buying the car in the UK. Caeden saw me flick up the overdrive switch and, when he felt the modest surge of speed, he christened the new car ‘Dash’ — short for ‘definitely awesome super horsepower’.
A little while later, we moved to New Zealand. Dash stayed behind at my parents’ house in Yorkshire, England, awaiting shipment to New Zealand, but it was to be a longer separation than we expected.
KIA ORA, DASH
