Now, this AM (about 1:30) I took the daughter's boyfriend home. 14F The
daughter wanted to go in the Midget. She sat in the middle, he sat in the
passenger seat. Started right up. Pertronix and Weber to the Emotional
Rescue (well I got tired of the FZ thread - thought I'd try RS) Took a
little while to get the frost off the windsheild, but with the hardtop on
it was't really a bad drive.
