Glen,
That sort of thing hasn't helped me much. Years ago (about 15) when I had
an MGB-GT, my wife drove it quite a bit. The other day I picked her up from
work in my stunning little '72 Midget and she just complained about how
small and bumpy the ride was. Imagine if I had the top down that day. This
from someone who is 4"11" no less. 15 years riding around in a station
wagon... what can I say. She thinks the Morris is cute, but she'd never
drive one. She even hates the fact that the Volvo Turbo is a stick shift...
There's another guy I know in town here that has a Traveller. He told me
the only thing she wants to inherit is the car!...'-)
Consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
