Hello Frank,
you are one of my heros on the list.. one of the most
knowledgeable, and acessable people here... you always
have the hints and advice to get others thru their trails
and tribulations....
and yet..
two letters in a row from you asking for help with
LBC's....
I am "non-mechanical", what is called a "checkbook
mechanic".. but i love British Sports Cars... and almost
have the means to keep them on the road.. if not "95
point" cars..... ..
i guess the point of the letter... .. is .. what hope
does a dope like me have of keeping one of the "effin"
beasts running, if an expert such as yourself still has
questions such as posed in your past two post?....
I had just thought that mysterious maladies were a given
with these things.. since i had started reading the list,
my view had changed.. there were people who KNEW how fix
EVERYTHING.... ..
my faith is shattered....
