haha; you are brainwashed young man; all those LBCs and what do you think
you will doing for a living which will enable you to spend 25 hours/week
working on them. I suggest you just grab a nice '70 Porsche 911 and
restore it and be done with it. No 2-story garage. Just the SUV(for the
wet days), the MGB/MGA, a pickup truck(if you're like me and you're a
hick), and a Porsche for when you feel the need for speed.
Don't get me wrong, but British is nice and all, but there is such a thing
as overkill. The British drink warm beer, and talk funny, and hell,
they're the ones who invaded us a long time ago. Don't forget that.
before any of you uptight guys decide to flame me, please be advised that
the above comments are in humor. I thought I might add that disclaimer
before i send. If you want to flame me in attempts to humor me, please
fire away. I think the Porsche 911 is more of a car and has more character
than any other car around.

BTW, I have a '78 MGB and a '70 MGB and no Porsche 911
