Andrew, thanks for the kind words about my MGB. It is my primary car; since the
British Motoring Conclave I have put 1400 miles on it.
Getting a car in that condition is just a matter of time, I have had my car for
six years. All you have to do is drive them, and spend a little money. Not a
lot of money, especially when you divide the cost over the length of time I've
had my car. The money I have spent is WAY less than a car payment. Many of my
neighbors drive Lexus, Jags, MBs, Miatas, Stealths, etc; all of them comment
how great my car is. Guess who spends more money on their cars? Not me. I
just spend a little time, and a little money; fixing this and fixing that. You
could probably buy a six pack of cars like mine for the cost of one Lexus.
By the way, before the list thinks my car is a "perfect" car, it isn't. A daily
driver can't be. I think that Andrew is being kind.
Don't' forget that Dick Watson drove his fine looking Midget from Wichita KS to
Denver to attend the British Motoring Conclave. Dick won 1st place, way to go
Dick!
Thanks again for the nice comments.
