Yes, I've got younger brother; he isn't much into British cars (or doesn't
admit it). I also have a younger sister, and she is will definitely be a
British sportscar owner.
Mum woke me up from my slumber and described the problem to me, needless to
say "50 RPMs" did not register in my head at 11am and I said "did you ask
Brian?" (that was the "Triumph Guy") She needed to drop some paper work
off in exchange for the sweater of mine he was holding hostage ;-)
Last Saturday consisted of Brian (same Brian, of PowerBritish) and myself
redoing the carburettors and then a tune-up. It did run perfectly. Did I
mention that when I was home last weekend, I uncovered the car only to find
that the drivers side window had been left down (and then the car
recovered!). Mothers!
Any word when the Winter swapmeet is in Norristown? I'll have lots of parts
to get rid of, and it would anger me if I miss that swapmeet also!

Ha! It must be flu season for British cars.

Yes, that is what I miss about not being home. Living in Bucks County in
the fall is great. Although Ithaca NY isn't bad, I just don't have any
means of transportation here.

BTW Rick, I am able to do all those webpages and keep up with my studies
quite easily! :-)
