Some more to add...

Maybe it's too much, and maybe it's just the pint of Guinness
speaking...

But it's true.  Some day this will all be gone....and little
fun cars made in a far away land will be nothing but a footnote
to automotive history, something from way back.

And some young people will hear the stories, and wonder
what it must have been like to actually *drive*...to face
the real world in such a silly, unsafe, fun little machine...
and their uncles and grandfathers will speak to them strange
words, "carburettor", and "Austin Healy"... some will just shrug
it off, tis nothing more than old things...

...but...

Some will dream of a possiblity that, for them, will probably 
never come...to feel the wind, drive lonely roads, attend rallies,
build an engine, maybe even go so far as to race...

A possiblity that is open to each and every one of us.

Do history a favour:  go put your top down and drive.
