The Doctor ('72 GT6 MkIII) sends his complements to a contemporaneous
"classmate", albeit from a perhaps less exclusive "school".

I feel much the same about the engines in my care...

You must be an optimist, or you wouldn't have bought the car.
Don't let those nagging voices of doubt and despair cloud your
reason: a well-maintained car is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
Even if it might not be appropriate to drive it to the corner store
for milk purchases (as when, for instance, the carburettors are in
pieces all over the kitchen table), remember to draw strength from
your pride in playing such a crucial role in the survival of your
vehicle. As The Doctor would say, "Care for a jelly baby?"
> BTW, the swin SU's above should have read twin SU's...
Oh, well then: I thought that "swin" might be related to "swork",
which many of us do often.
