Always liked the looks of the Sebring, but not knowing anything about

What do you mean by "they're like dodge convertibles?"
If it's something dirty, just try to suggest your meaning with some

There's no double entendre intended, Vic. *It was more of a metaphor..
The only convertible I've ever had in possession was a Triumph

i have a '64 Austin Healey Sprite, that needs carb work (whats new)
and it's ready to go. Yes, it's like driving a boxed in skateboard.


You had yours running already, Tim? *I had the most fun with the
Spitfire when I was a kid. *Next would have to be the Fiat that my Dad
owned. *Behind that would be the '64 Volkswagon Sedan, the only car I
ever wrecked. *Is your Sprite a hobby car?

It hasn't run in about 10 years. the carbs (SU) leaked like a sieve,
so it got parked intill I could figure out a way to either bypass and
mount on a Weber, or something else. needless to say, it now sits
with flat tires and about an inch worth of dust on top of it. The car
(when running) is drivable as is, but it needs restored. like some
interior work etc. that little 4 cyl runs good and accelerates hard,
for what it is. and it seems like nothing sounds quite like a British
4 banger.
