[Morgans] How I spent yesterday.

     Good to hear that Ol'Blu is back on the roads of Eastern Ct.  Sounds 
beautiful to me!  I'm still working on Toymog.

    John, I bought a TR-7 last June to take me on some of the British car 
runs till I am able to finish my Morgan ( paint and interior). I spent many 
hours trying to get it to run reliably and failed so decided to take it down 
completely. Rebuild of motor, bearing, seals, springs, shocks,brakes etc. I 
took the fuel tank out and found 1 gallon of water in the tank along with 
eight gallons of fuel at about a dollar a quart. I gave the fuel to a friend 
for his tractor. After I got things back together again I sent an e mail to 
the guy I bought the car from telling him I was now having fun with the car 
but didn't appreciate him selling me a car with a gallon of water in the 
tank. He told me he had never had such a problem and on farther questioning 
of his twelve year old twins , one boy said, it was not me dad and the other 
boy said, welllll maybe I did it dad. They where playing in the car and put 
water in it for gas.

   It does make a lot of mess to clean. I had to have the tank  totally 
rebuilt at a fair cost. All is well now with 2300k on the new motor but our 
winter is coming quickly too.

    Good to see a few entries in the 'team site.

    Cheers   Glenn in Canada
