[Roadsters] Holiday Gift Ideas

[Stan Wilkins]

I may have started something here that I didn't mean to.  I know that 
anything is worth what someone is willing to pay.  But in general things 
have a basic value depending on the current market. I remember all too 
well the XK140 for $400.00 that I passed on because it wouldn't start.  
How much is it worth today?  The Healey 100/6 that an Airman at Luke AFB 
had for sale for $800.  He was being transferred and needed to sell 
NOW.  That same car today is way more than $800.  Truth is that I had 
many opportunities in my youth but in those days I weighed too much to 
fit in a typical sports car.  I'm down to 196 lbs and think I could fit 
in one now. Of course I'm way older so getting out may still be a 
challenge; but it's a challenge I'm dying to meet.  Anyway, I see 
runners in the Datsun realm that are less expensive than the typical MGB 
unless I'm willing to get a rubber bumper model.  Nothing against them 
but I personally would prefer a chrome bumper Datsun.

Stan, thinking about the possibilities.
