Mick;
I can only speak for myself but I like your attitude. This list is for
owners, those interested in becoming owners, and those who just have an
interest in Roadsters. There are not hard and fast rules for this list just
common courtesy.
Like you, I am mostly a lurker not feeling I have much expertise to offer
the list but when I do comment I try to be open, fair and courteous. I also
sign my posts and include the area I hail from. It helps to give a
perspective to others when replying to my questions.
This thread should probably die but somehow I felt compelled to respond.

Hi,
Not to add to any flame or anything, but as a 'non-roadster-owner' myself,
I'm not sure I would know what my preferences were either. I have (3) 510's
(and yes, they also come in many flavors), but as I have been looking for a
roadster in the northwest, I would have to say the almighty dollar has been
controlling my search. I do know I would rather have a 2000 over a 1600, but
other than that, It's up to my pocket book to determine what I can get.
Also, as for offering advice to the list, I'll probably have to remain in
leech mode for a while when I do finally get a roadster. But, I guess that
is still no excuse for being an overall ass to everyone on the list, when
they were just trying to get more information......

Jeez,
All I want to do is buy a car. I'm not in the market for lectures.
Let me see if I can make this clear to all of you. I want a roadster. I know
about roadsters. I'm open to the type of car I buy within certain broad
parameters. If it strikes my fancy, I might buy a tubbed, pro street, big
block roadster. Or I might like a perfectly restored stock roadster. Or
anything in between. I might buy one with a U motor, I might buy one with an
L motor, I might buy one with no motor at all. If the car I like is in
Boonesville, Missouri, or Miami, Florida, or Timbuktu, California, I will go
get it. I will hook up the trailer, unload the Ralt, and drive to wherever
the car is located. I will exchange money for car. Then I will come home
and unsubscribe to this list and enjoy my car.
So, if you have or know of a car that is for sale, please let me know.

For a guy who "knows" so much about roadsters, I'd say you'll have a problem
buying one with an "L" motor, unless you get one that has been replaced with
a Sentra motor, FYI, "genius" the 1600 is an "R" motor.
BTW, I'll kinda be glad when you unsubscribe to this list, pal...
Mike Harper, (you figure out where I'm from...)
