I don't mind saying that I've got the most amazing wife in the world.
Our first date was so bad that we didn't have a second date for 3 years
(I talked about cars the whole time and bored her to death).
When she met my folks (and my Dad's TC) she said "I love your folks, and
your Dad's car is GORGEOUS!"
A few years after we were married, we were driving down I-71 when she
slapped my leg, pointed out the window at the northbound lanes, and
hollered "LOOK! An E-Type Jag!"
After my Dad passed away, and I worked an entire day getting his TC out
of storage and running, she brought me coffee, kept me company, and
generally hung around to make sure I was OK.
When the TC started and ran for the first time in 8 years, she laughed
and cried with me.
When I bought my Midget, she began attending shows with me, and became
my favorite rallye navigator ever.
Remember my recent post about transporting cars? We're currently
hunting for a second MG, for her. One that she can both drive and
enjoy, and learn to work on.
Like I said, the most amazing woman...
