Several weeks ago I was out in the driveway working on my BGT when a
young ( 21-yr old) kid pulled up in on of those FiberFab TD look a
likes, complete with VW running gear. He stopped by because he Had just
gotten this great "MG" at the bargain price of 5,500 dollars and saw I
too was interested in MGs. We talked for about a half hour about his "
great buy" and how wonderful "British sports cars were".
Honestly may be the best policy but in this case I didn't have the
heart to be honest with him and decided to let him enjoy his " dream
come true"
