Now you are really trying to get me going :). You don't want to pull me
onto that road.

Quick story. My brother buys a new luxery car every few years. Just had
a 56 T-Bird restored "concours" for $35,000 which with his original
purchase price has him into it for $42,000 now. He "WILL NOT!" drive
it, bought an enclosed trailer to tow it around to shows. I personally
will not vote for these cars at a, popular vote venue, show. Point is,
he drives a $40,000 + Caddy and a $30,000 + Pontiac GTX every day. At
the same time I'm a little guilt of this also. If it's raining, I'll
say to Eileen (my wife) "let's take the ($20,000+) MPV I don't want
anything to happen to my ($6,000) MG".

I thing you and I basicly wish for the same thing and that is for as
many MG to remain on the road for as long as possible.
Would like to thank you for an intellegent debate. It's nice to have a
difference of opinion with someone and not have it turn into a mud
fight. All the best to you and yours and Safety Fast, David Deutsch
