and so on...... love that story, thats what it's all about eh?
One thing that still amazes me - heard (read!) it lots of times on the list
here: The lengths folks go to get these cars ! Everytime I turn around
someone is dragging/has hauled a car clear across the states. Even tho' our
cars may not be publically recognized as "highly collectable" this sorta
thing just shows what kind of dedication/devotion we roadster owners have for
our cars. <G> In all my dealings w/ brit cars, I've never head of an owner
going to such trouble to acquire a MGB or Spitfire or whathaveya thats *sorta
equivalent* (you know what I mean!). I guess this just shows that us Roadster
owners are that much different from "the rest of the crowd."
