You should try an MG! Mind you, it was a lot easier to get them

into
that than the Rambler, but less fun when you got inside. Unless you
were realy into getting levers stuck into some uncofortable places
(and I bet here's a
website somwhere that capitises on exactly that sort of thing)

In the MG you probably had to stop halfway and adjust the SU's. :-)




(just perpetrating a myth about them although an old girlfriend
insisted on owning Triumphs and they kept me busy.)


No myth! I was at the damned things all the time. It was a TD, which
wasn't even an anteek then..

Should have had a 62 Austin Healy - 3 of those damn things on it!!



Cool. I knew a guy who had one of those things. Very fast..

BTW - the tonneau cover makes a good substitute for a blanket... )


He he. Well, noone could see much of what you were up to with those side
curtains...
