True story happened this summer....

Two new MGB's an MGB + MGBGT were found in Bristol, they had 17 miles on the
clock, and were promptly sold for alot of money in London.  They had never
been used since they were taken off the transporter at the garage.  All they
needed was an oil and coolent chainge, battery charged and away they went.
They have three years untill there first MOT is due, now that is a novilty.

Oh yes and I am now getting close to £2500 spent on my Spitfire.  £1500 car
£1000 parts.  Plus blood sweat and alot of tears.
