Mr. (and I use that term loosely) Fornal,
There is absolutely no relationship, except perhaps in your mind,
between that particular TR and the RB square bodied Midget. Yes, I
admit it has a TR engine in it, but it is from a Spitfire. A more
classic design and a worthier car than the 7. The fact of the matter is
that I have seen some examples of the 7 recently that for some reason
contain less rest than your computer.
So I DO object to being, all of a sudden, told that I own a "Triangle
Bodied Midget" ( and I can not figure out where on earth Jay studied
geometry to get a triangle out of that car). I still feel more akin to
the CB square bodied Midget, than that late model auto that, while did
have a rep for a bit of rust, was far ahead of it's time in the styling
dept. (Don't believe me?? Take a look at the profile of almost any
modern car, the Corvette for instance).
So take your comments about making the last of the TRUE Midgets being
related to that particular model TR and stuff them in your pipe and
smoke them!! It sure appears you need to change flavors, what you are
currently smoking is rotting your brain!!
