a localish guy locally told me that he could make my Midget take a jag e off
the line and I replied that my ford 3.8L station wagon ( at the time ) could
take an e.  He conceded silently.
( and I'll never buy another ford. )

> OK----at the risk of POing someone, let me just say--I'm a skeptic here. I
live in Western Pa with many hills. I also have an E-Type. Although my Healey
pulls these hills nicely, it is not as agressive on them as the E-Type (not
close), and neither of them will take on a 5L V8.
