I've been driving the Green Man to work every day this week. I
know that Mark Joslyn is too (he lives here in Champoo/Bannana).
Yesterday I saw an older fellow in a red rubber bumper MGB. Other
than that no other LBCs... I don't count late model Jag sedans
Most of their owners won't know what an LBC is (even when they're
up to their ass in one)! Different mind set.
I've had the top down on the TR4 at least once each day, generally
for the ride home. Though at 4:15 A.M. it's a little too cool to
go top down. I've been rained on too. This morning was cold and
tomorrow they're even calling for frost (sh*t).
I'm not gonna despair. Let's start thinking about next year's
British Car Week... We can REALLY get the word out... Let's beg,
bribe, wheedle, cajole, threaten and whine at our fellow LBCers.
Maybe they'll participate just to shut us up! Perhaps then we won't
feel like the last of a dying breed...
Lastly, let's go easy on the Miatisti. They're LBC wannabes...
They just can't handle the comitment.
Stiff upper lip old stockings...
