[Mgs] back on the road

[Paul Root]

Drove it like a dream this morning. It's been too long since I've  
drive it.

Top up this morning. It will go down this afternoon. Parked next to a  
new 5-series BMW. Got a smile and a short conversation with the driver.

With the top up, I hear a lot more noise coming from the rear end.  
I've never dealt with that in 7 years. I guess I should look it over.

No shortage of work to do.

Paul.
