Fellow fiends:
Risking the wrath of Mark B.'s mother board, I thought it was about time for
us to start expressing our holiday "wish list" of car-stuff. Now this *is*
the MG list so I hope we all give top priority to the Marque, but I also
believe, what with this the season for friendship, that we shouldn't be
afraid to express *other* desires... for items not intimately associated
with MG. That is, if you've always wanted a boat-tail alfa spyder, go ahead
and ask for it. Who knows, maybe someone wealthy *and* generous is listening!
for my part, my wish list (in descending order of hopefulness) is:
1. a fantastically solid and complete AH bugeye sprite resto project
(rarer than hen's teeth, by my reconning)
1.5 ditto metal-dash B/GT project (with an OD tranny that doesn't need
rebuld---the stories I could tell you!)
2. ditto Porsche 356A coupe project (for my spouse---German cars make
my sphincter twitch)
3. ditto boat-tail ALFA Romeo spyder project (I'd look good in one of
those, with panasports, too!)
3.5 metric tools for #'s 2 and 3 above
and now, moving into the realm of the un-real...
4. Jaguar C-type
5. BRM P261 V8 (for trips to the grocery)
6. Aston Marin DB5
7. Jaguar XK120M
That should do it. I'll stop there, as I don't want to appear greedy.
So, fellow fiends, what'll it be? Sky's the limit, as no one whose
listening can do anything about it anyway... I hope we all get one or two
wishes to come true!
cheers,
Will "simple man, simple needs" Zehring
