My wife has decided that she _has_ to have a post-1982 Alfalfa Romeo
much to my chagrin.
What burns me is that she insists on calling my MGC the P.O.S (piece
of you can guess) and constantly berating me about the periods that
it is in the garage receiving much needed improvements. Currently,
the water pump is being rebuilt (a new one is $300 !!) and so it has
been undrivable for the last few weeks, but I have taken the opportunity
to add new bumpers, drain the transmission, drain the oil, drain the
diff, rebuild the brake master cylinder, and other assorted tasks. (And
put all new fluid back in.) I think this is pretty normal considering
that I had to order the water pump kit from England.
So, I know I am asking a biased group, but it was my distinct impression
that Italian cars sat in driveways on blocks a lot more than MGs. Is
this true? Do I have a hope of convincing her to get a nice MGB instead?
Or will I be spending the rest of my life skinning my knuckles on some
Eyetalian work of art?
Will
