Sorry I didn't answer this earlier, I hadn't gotten anything from the list
since Monday and I didn't think to see if I'd been inadvertantly unsubscribed
until today. After my experience with nothing getting out because of my
company's firewall, I just assumed I was in mailing list purgatory until
somebody else fixed something. So now that I'm re-subscribed, I'm spending a
few hours with my office door closed catching up on digests.
To answer your question, San Diego's MG's are all hiding in garages. I don't
know anyone other than me who drives one as basic transportation anymore. If
I don't drive either a '66 B or a '63 1100, I don't get anywhere. Everyone
else in the MG Club has another car and they drive their MG's at most once
a month. I don't understand it myself. I really like the stories on this
list about how much people enjoy driving their cars.
You were in San Diego and you didn't contact me? You could have dragged an
1100 back to PA! Or is that why you didn't contact me? Next time, call me
and we'll get together for a beer. I'm in the book. That goes for everyone
else, too. So far, I've hoisted a few with Andy Ramm and Michael Golden and
wife (gad, I can't remember her name). Neither have been heard from since.
Andy didn't even finish his travel saga. No, they are _not_ buried with the
1100 carcasses.
