Hi Nick,
Thought it was just me that the list was a tad quiet... Oh! Wait! Guess all
those with cars THAT RUN (think maybe I saw JesseK's yellow Spitter up near
Longwood this past weekend) were out enjoying a few last fall rides before
Ol' Man Winter moves in and drives them off the road... no, I'm not a bit
jealous! Also saw (and heard) a red Midget and a maroon and white MGB over
near Mt. Gretna yesterday, but we don't talk about those here... *grin*
And speaking only for myself, I'm hardly one to include with Paul and Liv,
they've both restored LBCs before. I'm relying on our fellow listers, books,
mags, web sites (including Paul's!!), one brother who's a Big Iron welder by
trade ("you don't want this 22 gauge paper s**t on your car, use
quarterinch, it can take a hit and not give") and the other who restored a
'57 Jag XK140 ("just pay somebody to do the bodywork") to sort the sheet
metal stuff out. Whether I'm any good at it will be determined by the
"Laff-O-Meter" at whichever body shop ends up painting Ol' Yeller in the
spring and my friends at work who've had to suffer through my restoration
escapades for a year now.
"Any drive you don't return from on a tow truck was a good one..."

Hi all. Was writing this to another lister, then thought: list traffic is
low on the weekend, at least one lister needs their Spit-list-fix, (Fred?)
so decided to share this long message and fill the void. I can't compare
with the likes of Paul, Jon, Andre, Liv and others, (welding and forming
patch panels "challenge" me) but have been moving ahead.
