Today I decided to go pick up some parts I needed for my TR6... with the
long Easter break I have I figured the time will be well spent. I arrive,
and see a fellow fussing around with his rubber bumper MGB with bumper
stickers all over it (besides the fact the car was sky blue with a red top).
I later found out the fellow is "near" deaf (apparently within Pennsylvania
limits - as he is able to drive). While I was waiting, he spoke to the
fellow behind the counter. His speech was very distorted, and the counter
attendant had to repeat what he was saying a few times. Infact, I wasn't
able to understand the deaf man much at all.
Anyhow, I was talking / waiting / buying my parts for the better part of two
hours. This man had his car open, his small tool set laid out on the
pavement and would install one part, come in for something else.. go install
it, etc... I think the hinges on the front door will need to be greased.
But I thought it was very cool that he drove, and had an interest in, MGs.
It was great to see.
chocks away,
