My comment was made to those enthusiasts who refuse to drive their MGs
further than the 50 yards from trailer to showfield...IF the car will even
start...
Most of you do not know that I, too, have a special needs son...Tim, my 15
year old, has cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound. While he has not made
it to many events with us, he has enjoyed the ones he's been to...when Tim
accompanies us, we take either one car (the Pathfinder which will accomodate
his wheelchair), or two...in which Tim rides with me in the MG.
At MG '96, there was a yellow MGB with a hitch which was adapted to hold the
wheelchair of a young man. I applaud his parents.
My point is...get out and drive your MGs, stop worrying about rock
chips....you only go around once.
And..Kelvin is absolutely correct....I am definitely a "special needs"
enthusiast with a very understanding wife....
True....I probably missed the original post concerning the U-Haul trailer...I
only caught Stowe, etc.
Now then....how about we all regain our senses of humour......I thought that
my comment about divorce would have at least been seen as a "tongue-in-cheek"
comment.
