As Basil warned me not to be a lurker I thought I would introduce myself. I am a Brit /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/england.gif married to a CA gal /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/patriot.gif and live in LV, NV. We have 3 cats, mortgage, a car club (BACLV.com) and 3 British cars. Currently we have a 1967 Austin Healey BJ8 - 1976 Jensen Interceptor III and a 1977 MG Midget - All are used on a regular basis and consequently make frequent demands on my wallet. I was born with grease under my finger nails and when the temperature is below 100F I still enjoy 'tinkering' out in the garage as there is always somthing to do. I have worked on most makes and models of cars while in the UK - but by no means do I consider myself the Oracle for all things British, however if I can help any time, please feel free to drop me a line, the least I can do is sympathise with you!
