Fellow Listers:
In the November 1997 issue of ROAD & TRACK there is an article on page
108 by Kim Reynolds in which many of us MGB owners ought to take
umbrage! Especially those of us who smoe pipes and look like Andy Gump!
Beginning on page 109 and continuing on to page 110 the author extols
the advantages of "karting" in SCCA's SOLO II program as opposed to
campagning "Those old Triumphs, Alfas and MGs..that were cheap and a
ball to drive.." The telling comment appears at the top of page 110
where he concludes the statement with "...are now considered the cars of
curious old men who look like Andy Gump with a pipe." Could it be that
he refers to only the Alfa owners? Where is Peter Egan now that we need
him?
All female and Andy Gumpers should feel personally violated!
