[Mgs] Spurned an offer

[melfrankus at carolina.rr.com]

Well said dontoy. I admire and respect your response.  Sadly, my dad was more about bonding over lawn maintainance.  My children have no interest in cars except as transportation.  Our youngest is 31 and never cared to learn how to drive a straight shift.  Still, I've had old British cars since HS and 50 years later they are still a special treat to own and drive....Mel

We sure did enjoy our wrench turning sessions in the garage. I can't imagine any circumstances that would cause me to sell the MG, his spirit lives there. It lives in all the bodges that I still work to undo, it lives in the Moss red vinyl interior he installed. People used to inquire about me selling. No one has for years. I think they can tell. Might have something to do with the shit eating grin I'm sporting while behind the wheel.
