a) I just saw "When Cars Attack" on ABC last night; I have some questions.
Where is the hydrosolator on a Tiger? Do either R___ or T____ T__ sell
replacement hydrosolators? Does D___ A________ make an expensive kit to
adapt hydrosolators from 1966 Chevys to Tigers for improved performance?
Does N___ document, serial # by serial #, changes to the color of
hydrosolators on Mk1 & Mk2 versions? (I'm watching _way_ too much TV).
b) O.K., responses about my chances against my new neighbor's Maserati
Quattroporte are mixed; but, yesterday, another car appeared there. This
time a Fiat 850 Spyder, in nice shape. I should be able to beat that, even
in my old-technology, can-be-outrun-by-Jap-econoboxes Sunbeam.
c) The Garage Princess has a new companion in the garage; I finally picked
up an Iso Rivolta. It's red, in pretty good shape apart from some missing
paint and corrosion along both rockers, and a "dropped door" on the
passenger side. When will I get to drive it? Never; alas, it's only four
inches long-- Susan would never allow any more full-size old cars to come
home, the Garage Queen will have to be _it_. So when I say I have a
Gordon-Keeble, a Nash-Healey, a Facel Vega, a Cobra, a Jensen Interceptor,
a Pantera an Iso Rivolta and a Sunbeam Tiger in the garage, and have a lead
on an Allard, don't take me too seriously! (Anybody have a source for a
Monteverdi?)
