Glad to hear from you again Rick! Just putting in new carpet in the
MGA and having a devil of a time trying to get the cut just right around
the diagonal frame brace and the sill.
Barrie, I'm ROTFLing as
my college buddy had and still has a Morgan +4. We hit a pheasant,
did a "U" turn, and i grabbed it from the passenger seat w/o
opening the door, did another "Bat-turn" and proceeded to his
place where the bird, not severely disfigured, was duly dressed and had
for dinner! Can't do that in my Bugeye.
Thanks for the
memories.
