Will & Gerry,
A shared obsession might seem like the ideal relationship, but you may
live longer with the counterbalance of a lovingly indulgent or patiently
understanding spouse. At least it keeps the competition for the Mog keys
on the saner side of a blood sport. And you can probably close both eyes
when you sleep. But WTH, If you've found a really good relationship AND
a really good car (by definition a Morgan, no?) you're too blessed (and
probably too busy) to be bitching.
Sorry I can't remember who signs off, "My car isn't leaking, it's just
marking its territory." I'm glad I can still laugh at that. My extremely
territorial Mog sleeps in a tiny, crowded garage with a floor sporting
an increasingly Jackson Pollack-like design in monochromatic oils. My
incontinent beauty even leaks from places it doesn't (or shouldn't) HAVE
oil--for instance, isolated drips in line with the outside edge of the
right running board along the passenger side door. I'd prefer a more
accurate and specific indicator of the location of the lube points (I
once tried to lube the bleed valves on the rear brakes...).
Is anyone interested in starting a PARTS/PIECES/STUFF list for
available items, e.g. shrunken tonneau (free), set of 4 lo-mileage
145x15 Kleber radials ($100 OBO)? I wish I had the time, but it took me
an hour to write this....

her computer and e-mail address:)
