  After 2 years of hanging around on the Tigers and Alpines lists I bought
  a Series 5. I picked it up about 65 miles from where I live so I towed
  it (it runs fair to poor but doesn't stop well) There's nothing like
  convincing your wife that it's a good idea to spend a bunch of money on
  a car that you have to tow home ;-) That's also part of the reason I
  didn't get a Tiger. The other part being I can only justify digging into
  my kids college fund for a few grand. (He's got 16 more years for me to
  save!)

  When I got it home I drove it around the block where it promptly killed
  and was having trouble restarting. A guy in a Merkur pulls up beside me
  and says "Do you want me to help you push it? I used to have a Triumph."
  Great, Welcome to the wonderful world of LBC's.

  Multitude of fix it questions forthcoming,

  Chris Mottram
