Well I just finished watching Double Happiness.
I would have to concur that the father was right.
If I had a daughter I wouldn't want her falling for
an MGB owner - I would tell her to hold out for a
Datsun Roadster owner ! That was a 'B' not a Datsun.
Also Michael I know you now understand the true
wisdom of your father-in-law - not only making
your wife hold out for not only a 67.5 but a solex 67.5.
