Some information may be different now. Like so many prescription stories, this one starts with a visit to the emergency room. Brian Kraus was driving back from work in his MG Midget when he was rear-ended—the driver was too busy playing with the radio to notice the fully stopped, bright-orange MG. In most cases, this would be the end of a tale; but Brian saw it as an opportunity. Even though Brian and the Midget had gotten off to a rocky start before the accident—the car actually broke down during the initial test drive—he was determined to stick with it. At the time of the accident, the Midget was actually undergoing a rolling restoration; the collision merely sent things off in a more radical direction.
