Hey listers,
Must I remind some of you that TA, TB, TC, TD, and TF are
only two-letter words(?). They do not have four letters. I have room for
one lbc. By choice, since I had a couple back in the 50's, I have a
restoration-in-progress 52TD. I drive it. ( Did about 300 miles last
weekend to see a couple of car shows). I polish it. I'd like to get it
to be like the new TD that I couldn't afford back then. I do virtually
all of the greasy work.
I live in Plymouth, Massachusetts. A tourist town. My favorite
evening activity is to take Lazarus for a spin down to the town
waterfront, by Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower. The car draws attention.
I'm proud of it. Kids love it. I couldn't guess how many photos have
been taken of kids behind the wheel of the TD. (no ice picks, though)
I was 20 when I bought my first TD. Why should I be expected to look
down my nose at someone that age? I don't have a tweed cap. However, I
do have an Irish gaffer's cap that I wear in the cooler seasons. For
warm weather it's a cap with a Marine Corps emblem. Please folks, don't
paint all T-Typers with this snob brush. Morgans? Well that's different.
