He said so just 50 minutes ago...what am I missing?

Here it is:

Which one?

Graduate edition. I had a ****Spider***** Veloce at one point, but I traded
it for a
chrome bumpered MGB with twin carbs.

WTF is that?

It was a version made in the 80's without the rounded trunk, meant to tie
in
with the film The Graduate where Dustin Hoffman drove the car. Kinda
silly and
a terribly slow car in the heavily de-smogged American version.
I have a pic with Suzanne driving, but Billy Jane doesn't want to see it!
He
also won't answer you on the Subaru issue.

OK, a Spider.....why didn't you say?


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Oh. one of those crappy American cars you have such distain for.

Indeed, I don't care for any of the Vette's.

RB

Yet you drive a Japanese imitation of a CHE-vette.

The Chevy has AWD, leather, and about every car award there is? Oh, didn't know
that! You suuure know cars!
Maybe you meant AMC Eagle?

You mean like the 97 Pt. MG TF I recently bid on and won?

Funny, a BMC Dealer I worked for offered me a pristine TF-1500 for $350
but I turned it down and bought a DOHC MGA instead. In retrospect I
should have bought the Fiat Abarth Zagato Sprint Special or the stage 4
Arnolt Bristol Bolide or ....

Hope you didn't pay more than $350 for the TF. (c:

Not too far or fast I hope. The flexable cranks in the pre-MGA motors
fatigued rapidly at freeway speeds/rpm. Enjoy it on the kinds of roads
it was designed for and it'll give you a lot of fun.

Now I'm looking for a deal on a MGA twincan or Austin Healy 3000 down the road.

Gawd you are a glutton for punishment!

If you get a 'cammer' be sure the tappet holes in the head are sleeved
and the matching late model tappets installed, else the tappets hang in
the aluminum, the pistons hit the valves and BANG. Similarly do NOT rev
it over 7000 despite it's eagerness to do so unless you use Castrol *R*
40 or a modern synthetic equivalent (Dinosaur blood can't get rid of
bearing heat fast enough). Stock MGA handling was called "Safety Fast" -
the chassis heeled over on the outside front and lifted the inside rear
wheel preventing speed increases or, unfortunately, "drifting". Install
a posi rear if you can still find one, lower the rear by re-arching the
springs and add the optional HD front roll bar so she'll lean on the
outside rear and pick up the inside front in true Brit fashion. The posi
alone was worth 6 sec/lap on the old Riverside (CA) course.

The 100-4 Healy was a far better car than the later models which stuffed
a 6 into the chassis and the 3000 was a poor performing Brit T-Bird.
BTW there were a few 'real' Le Mans models built - look for RHD with
integral headrest, a gas tank that fills the whole ass end, 4W disks,
etc.

Good luck!

FWIW Hollywood SC's Doan Spencer prep'd 'B dyno'd 140+ HP in stock SCCA
(OK Cal Club) production tune. Ate "Poaches" and solid-axle Vettes.

You make the above claims for the Chevette, and you say "I" don't know
cars? Oh, okay!

Billy Jane's lack of sarcastic wit is on par with his boat choices!

Bwahahahahaha!

So you admit that you come from a real working class background. Are you

Sheeesh! They will let anybody go out on the water these days.

Donal admits he's a racist. I'm Russian.

So what? I'm in a hurry, too!
