Actually, I found out as a teenager with my dad's TD that my "hobby" would
get me babes, so I shouldn't put it off. Since then a Healy, a few Alfa's
and now a TD. I guess it still works as I met my current girlfriend when
she was looking over the TD at a party. As a bonus she came with a set of
craftsman tools as she's into old VW's.
