I will refrain from continuing this thread with the
Frenchman-hurling-abuse-from-the-top-of-the castle routine as it will
inevitably offend somebody. As for the little A** in your garage, you
should know that you really need a Patsy with two empty halves of coconuts
to haul your gear; that concrete burro isn't going to cut it.
If you really need something French in your driveway, I know of a couple of
Dauphines locally, I think one of them actually runs. Might even be able to
match the flight velocity of an unladen swallow, but I wouldn't count on
it.
But it's the part about kids cutting into the autocross schedule that
really hurts.

And we have a winner! Although the shotgun approach was used, Phil did
identify the two bonnets as genuine MGA bits. The steering wheels and
hubs are Jag.
I hope to make a couple of autocrosses this year. I figure after a few
more runs I will have those snow tires worn down enough for them to give
me the same traction as slicks! The dates are always hit or miss since
I am also the proprietor and the primary driver of the Eastman Teenage
Taxi Service.
In answer to your snob comment I say: Your mother was a hamster and
your father smelled of elderberry, Geez, maybe I should start driving
French cars.
In the same picture is a small item with a trouble light coiled around
an appendage. This is what you get when you are not sufficiently
specific wishing for a little A** in the garage.

PS- Phil, please don't take me serious. I bet you can guess what tape I
rented this weekend.
