    Yeah, my bride went through that phase a few years back. Ended up getting a BRG Spitfire. The key was I told her I'd learned my lesson on Brit cars many moons ago and wouldn't work on it for her. After having to pay several times to have those annoying, niggling, totally frustrating series of problems that will inevitably happen fixed all the joy was out of it for her.....................and on went the for sale sign.

    As a variation on the old boat saying; "The two happiest days in a Brit car owners life is the day they buy the car, and the day they sell it!"

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I don't know, NSRA, take a look at the custom wiring in my old ford! Even Lucus used better connectors!

    For some reason, maybe it's the butt connectors, tape and extra wire, it doesn't look quite like original Ford wiring.
