That reminds me, TeriAnn. Whatever happened to the $600 big Healey that
you were searching for in the area where earthquakes had scrambled the
addresses?
Maybe the ad was put up as a practical joke to plague the neighbors--sort
of the british car buff's equivalent of ordering a dozen pizzas delivered
to someone.
Speaking of not being nice to others, it is not kind for California types
to talk about the misty mornings and driving roadsters to work. I went to
my rented garage recently, shoveled out the door, and spread moth balls to
ward away mousies. As I did it, I wondered whether the mothballs would
actually give off any fumes at -12F. Oh well, no mousies are gonna try
and move at -12F anyhow. I walked around my bugeye. I didn't dare sit in
it, though; at these temperatures the upholstery is brittle.

P.S. When the "big one" makes CA fall into the sea, it would be a
terrible shame to lose huge numbers of rust-free lbc's. For sizable fees,
I will house and periodically exercise suitable prime lbc's here in the
east, saving them from certain destruction. I might even take on the odd
Ferrari or Lambo.
