Its been a strange morning so far in this regard, woke up to about 1/4"
of ice over
everything - i would have taken the 69 except i couldnt get the doors
open!
the ice was that thick - thus off on a 1 1/2 hour drive in a jeep which
usually takes 35mins.
Now i drive my MGs most days, between 50 and 90 miles depending on the
itineraries
of my offspring and even in the summer i rarely see another LBC.
This morning, amid this nor-easter i saw not one but TWO big healeys AND
a morris minor
convertible.Both the Healeys were in great condition, certainly not daily
drivers and both
were exiting (different) gas stations about ten miles apart on rte137- is
there a show in CT today??
The minor looked pretty good too
i guess im just not hardy enough!!
