Bless you, Bob! You made my week. I am humbled at your devotion to the
marque--virtually lifelong! And thanks for the general concern for me.
If it werent for some recent significant bonding with my own 'umble 4/4,
I'd be in a delerium. The mog list has been very very quiet.
My story is quite a bit different from yours. I only 'came into' mogs in
the past four or five years, tho I'd been pretty sure I wanted to get into
brit cars since I was ten or maybe even younger (after the strong influence
of my oldest brother and his '58 MGA), and had been "messing around" with
MGs for about 10 years. My car popped up in the Detroit paper's want ad
section four summers ago. I wasn't really actively hunting for a Morgan,
tho I'd researched them and spoken of them quite a bit and admired the mog
(friends warned me to avoid the MGTD like the plague--I owe them for that
one!). It was really my wife who pushed the event (BLESS HER, TOO!!). Its
an older restoration by the PO... good but not great job; plenty
presentable and drivable, tho it urped up a quart of coolant on the
driveway when I first brought it home (just overfull; its behaved well in
that regard since). My wife gets a lot of pleasure out of this car, more
so than my '63 B, which makes the whole thing alot easier (sly grin).
Cheers, and have a good holiday,
Will
p.s. regarding your Alaska trip: will the list get updates as they happen
or must we wait until you have returned home? I sort of hope for the
latter. There's some incongruence to emailing us on the fly in a
Mog-journey to Alaska. Keep the high-tech clutter at home, but don't
forget your witworths (sp?).
