Peter,
"Brave Irene," What a great name. (Btw my favorite racehorse name was
"Brutality of Hope"--obviously NOT appropriate for a Morgan, and too
long for a plate anyway.)
I know just how you feel. I just had my first ride in a 3-wheeler. A
friend of mine took me out in his beautiful blue '33 SS in the soft
green rolling hills and winding 2-lanes of middle NorCal. I could wax
Morganific but, damn, it was a bloody wonderful experience! Thanks
again, George.
Anyone care to weave a thread on the list re: license plates, bumper
stickers or car names we have loved (or loathed)? I like "COMO NO",
"HRUDUDU" (the rabbit word for car in "Watership Down." On a VW Rabbit,
of course) and "MMM CHIC" (on a Jag SS 100).
Michael, Arlin & "MOGNFIQ"
