When I was a college student in about 89 I bought a '75 Midget. John's shop was a couple blocks from my college house (and NOT in the best part of town). He was nice to me then, even though I didn't have a dime to spend. When I got my current one I stopped by his shop (since moved to a suburb) after the gearbox went south, he spent several minutes showing me how they work and telling me what might be wrong. Yep, he's one of the good guys. Their shop was always full of the coolest cars; As and Midgets, B.s Big Healeys, Triumphs....
