...and three to go.

Hello again from London!

The '67 MGB that runs has been sold.  Still available are the non-running 
'67 B and those two adorable MG 1100's that run and are driveable.  Maybe I 
should point out that the 1100's are not merely cute and driveable and only 
300 GBP, but they're also rolling parts supplies for Minis.  One even
comes with a spare complete 1098 drivetrain.

In other news, I'm sorely disappointed in the weather.  I'd heard all these 
wonderful stories about rain and snow and fog and not seeing the sun for 
months at a time and it's been sunny most of the time I've been here.  I'm 
weather deprived.  I was encouraged by a post card that had the caption, 
"A foggy day in London" and was otherwise uniformly grey, but it turns out 
that the fog of Sherlock Holmes stories no longer exists.  This is false 
advertising!  I'm shocked!  What cherished illusions will be shattered next?

A while back, someone pointed out that the British tend to name their cars.  
I don't know about that but they do name their trucks.  Oddly, they're all 
named "Laurie."

I'm not on the list anymore so I won't receive your pithy comments unless 
you cc me.
