I finally got to register and insure Grizabella, my 1978 Midget, and took
her for a run about town. For some reason the clutch and brakes worked
much better than when I brought her home....maybe it was the "glow" of
once again (since I sold my VW Thing 7 years ago) of driving around
(in 45+ degree weather) with the top & windows down, the Dead on the
stereo....etc...etc...
Now all I have to is get the turn signals to work...the emergency
brake to hold....the rust repaired....the fan switch to work...on
and on ad nauseum. Maybe by the time its ready to put it away for
snow season everything will work.
BTW, after reading Peter Egan's article in R&T, I wonder if he could
"fix" a couple of "minor" things on Grizabella...hmmmmm... :*)
