Funny... today, as I was leaving the British Car Days event put on by
the British Motorcar Club of Southern New Mexico in Las Cruces (too many
MGs--you guys with Triumphs in the SW have to attend next year--we were
_badly_ outnumbered!), a guy walked up to me and gave me the same as the
above in white, saying, "I won this, but I'm into Jags, so maybe you'd
like this to see what yours would be like if you fixed it up." <g>
Cheers, all.
