Shades of the song "Little Duce Coupe". I know what Lake pipes are, but
what's a "nerf"? Hablos Anglais, Fred!
Catching up on my mail after a week in Havana. Incidently, one can meet a
Morganeer just about anywhere. Spied a man with a Morgan T shirt, as we were
catching our ride to the Havana airport. I believe he said his name was
Gaston & that his Mog is on blocks in North Dakota! Said he would get back
to it sometime, but he's travelling a great deal these days. I hope he won't
have to dig it out of many feet of snow, as we in the Great Lakes/North East
must! We'll have to go to Tibet next, so that we can run into members of the
"Himalayan Morgan Club"!
My stable mates are more mundane than most mentioned. A '69 Mustang ragtop
with a mildly hopped up 302 "mill", & an '85 SVO Mustang, with a tired
turbo'd, inter-cooled, injected "4-banger".
Well, back to shovelling. Don't think I'll drive the Mog this January....
