I heard about this.
I would love to marry Nigel-he is my own true love. In fact, I go out with a
very nice man who has a GT6. But I love my Spitty more than he loves is
"Green Goddess."
Anyway, whenever he gets testy and starts saying I'm too serious and
attached to him I just remind him that Nigel, I'm attached to;Nigel I love.
He is merely a man and can be replaced. And never forget, if I have to chose
between him and the Spitfire-Nigel stays! I tell all the men this!
Laura G. and Nigel
