Hey guys
I must be pretty lucky my wife not only enjoys driving our British cars she
enjoys washing polishing and working on them . Right now we are reassembling
her 56 MGA
from a total frame off restoration and she is right there turning wrenches and
all the other fun things that come with a British car . She does complain and
go on strike though when her hand or fingers get pinched when ties holding the
other wrench I can't reach but then I quit when I smash a finger.
14 British cars 5 running 3 in the works
