I agree that many do not use their LBCs as God intended. But, quite a few
of us do use our spridgets as daily or semi-daily drivers. How about a head
count? I know Ulix does, I do, are there any others?
I completely agree with you otherwise. Frank helped me a lot with advice on
brakes and eased me into lbc maintenance in general. I probably would still
have the car, but I doubt that I'd have it on the road as much if not for
Frank and a few other people of his caliber on the list. And, I know it
would not be nearly as much fun.
