Max, Gordie, et al,
Glad to hear that neither of you were hurt, and that
there was not too much damage to the MG, Max. You were a
lot nicer than I would have been if someone had hit my MG.
I appreciate all of the list postings, and I am about to
call Hagerty to insure my B. They are even open on
Saturday which helps **a lot ** with my schedule. I will
post to results of the experience to the list.
Thanks to all who responded to my initial calls for
insurance "help".
Safety Fast,
Gene
