Hello,
Yesterday I answered an ad for a motorcycle model that I have been eyeing for
awhile. Well, I drive up to his house and inside of his garage is his
British roadster restoration project. Yes, it was coming along very well and
looked very nice. It was a late 50's MG. Anyway we talked cars for awhile
and I even gave him a quick lesson abut SU's. (Its amazing how complicated
the Brits made their SU's compared to the ones used in our cars)
Anyway, to make a long story short I invited him to the firehouse the next
day to check out my 1967.5 2000 Solex. Yes, I was feeling alittle evil. ;>)
Anyway, today he came over and I pulled the car out in the sun and fired it
up. I revved up the engine and let him hear what a Japanese Roadster can do.
Lets just say that he was shocked when he found out that it was a somewhat
stock motor.
I wonder if he intends to trade up to a Datsun? I dont think he was too
pleased to see, hear and experience real Roadster muscle.
