Damn you guys are killing me. I wasn't even gonna open this thread up but
I did. Now I can't stop reading this thread. I can only hope that some
day my daughter will appreciate the fact that I am hanging on to an MGB-GT
in hopes that some day she will be ready to invest some time an money in it.
Sure would be a ton-o-fun even though she doesn't know the
first thing about turning a wrench .. But she sure enjoyed the times we
spent toolin around town in the MGA when she was little.
Tried to teach her to drive a stick once, at least we were still talking
after that.
Time will only tell. At least I can still drive her around in my cars if
she
decides she doesn't want one of her own.
But then she is getting married next year. I might have to start planting
the LBC seed in her fiancis head. One trip around town in the Healey should
take care of that situation.
