was hesitant about doing anything in my spitfire, not because I was
pampering it but because I was "afraid" of it breaking down. However,
after roaring (well, ok putting along is more like it) through the back
roads around Portland with Henry yelling encouragement I finally
realized that if I didn't drive the car I might as well get rid of it.
Guess what, I elected to drive it. I can't think of the last time I
enjoyed myself so much while driving a car (parked cars however are a
different matter!). >>
Brad,
Well said - I believe this captures why we are all involved in this passion
with our LBCs.....sure, we can shine up the family Honda or Taurus and take
it for a drive and get from point A to point B.....but only we know it's not
the same adventure....I like this list a lot....whether it's seemingly
mindless bantor or industrial strength technical sharing....it's all genuine
stuff and that's what counts.
