I'm quite close to buying a new car, the rare MG-TF. I'm dealing with the
owners now and may have the car by next month, if her condition is truly above
90 points.

Here's a pic of the beautiful TF.

I'm also seeking an MGA Twin Cam to keep in PA.

You'll need to lose about 40 pounds to get in it.

Real men buy sports cars with V8s.

So much for the MGAs, Austin Healy's and Lotus' cars.
Loco, it's no wonder you bought an Express 30. It's as fast as a AMC
Javelin...and about as refined.

Oh well.

... The TF and most British

Especially the 7-derived Loti.

I guess I was never a 'real' man. :-(

When real men buy a sports car real men buy Cobras, Griffiths, TVRs,
Panteras, Mangustas, Monteverdis, Bizzarrini 5300s, Maseratis, Ferraris,
Panozs, Corvettes, McLarens or yes Lotus now makes a V8 powered Esprit. But
you didn't know that.

Shhh...don't discourage Bob. Having once upon a time owned one of the
old British sports cars, I think it would be ideal for him Fun to
drive on rare occasion and a huge pain in the ass the rest of the
time

If I were to regress to my thrill seeking days, I would have hung on
to my old Porsche 930 (pre-emission, high octane engine). That was a
fun car for the years that I owned it. Exotic cars are like exotic
women. Fun to ride now and then, but I wouldn't want to pay the
maintenance of owning either one

True, but you really can have your cake and eat it too. What you want is an
exotic that uses an American V8. Unlike a Ferrari etc you can blow the engine
to dust and can afford to buy a new one. I'm presently keeping my eye out for
a Pantera L. Italian mid engine V8 powered by a Ford 351. I'll install 4
Webers and have some fun.

What a depressing image this conjures: a heavyset, sweaty guy in a tank top
leaning into the engine box of some little old piece of crap on a Queens side
street because he doesn't have a proper garage, with one eye constantly askance
looking for the mugger who is going to take what meager funds he has.
