AMEN,the turns are what make getting there so fun,otherwise you would always
take the freeway directly to your destination without any backroad
distractions,(or go straight to a book{only the facts maam}for info)The
ownership of a LBC is an experience that SHOULD be shared in all its facets or
you lose the joy that comes with the ownership,you certainly wave to other LBC
owners when out and about,stop and talk if possible.Would the first words be
"How do you get to the darn timing marks(or something similar)"or perhaps more
friendly and outgoing.If I need facts I'll call a british car shop but for a
great learning experience with my friends(yeah I aint met any of ya)hope I can
say friends,I'll hang out right here,Cuz I love the B.S. that goes with it!!
Brad
BTW I joined the list about a month and a half ago,are you saying he's not
Montana Bob?!?! It's sunny and 92* outside,I think I'll go cruising some
backroads for the hell of it,later
