>Hey Carol,
>You Texans like to brag about your winter weather, let me tell you about
>Florida. We had a cold front move through yesterday (Friday), and it left
>cool (upper 70's), dry (for a change) weather down here.
>Last night I called a couple of friends from our club, and we made a
>pilgrimage to one of our local British pubs for some kidney pie, Guiness and
>camaraderie (two 1961 A's and my fine '70 MGB).
>Today dawned sunny and bright, and after completing some morning chores, I
>had my favorite gal (wife of 31 years) ask for a cruise up the beach. How
>could I turn her down... we did just that, found a 60's restaurant (not a
>theme restaurant, a real 60's restaurant... this is St. Petersburg), and had
>a delightful lunch overlooking the Gulf, complete with Metal Detector
>detectives, Babes and Sailboats off-shore.
>The car was running exceptionally well, perfect tone in the exhaust,
>extra-long sweet spot in 3rd during acceleration, and near perfect
>transmission of road conditions (smooth, undulating waves in the asphalt,
>subtly giving slight pressures at the steering wheel), the car was saying
>this, this is what I was built for 27 years ago!
>And it's only Saturday...
>Sorry for you Northerners, but I had to address this Texan (I used to live in
>Dallas), and I think I will give another report in January (I know it gets
>pretty cool in January, in Texas).
>
>Gawd I love these cars...
>Dave Tietz
>'70 MGB Roadster
>'74 MGB-GT (Daily Driver... yea it's got air)
>'90 LeBaron (to placate wife when the weather is less than perfect...Unlike
>TODAY!!)
