I just found this site and am glad to be here. My first car @ 16 was a 60 bugeye and I drove the heck out of it. Spridgets have been one of my loves for the next 45 years or so.
In fairness, I haven't been too active with much of anything hobby related for the past couple of years as I'm trying to retire and downsize. Easier said than done, especially in this economy.
My LBC's are a very early yellow '58 bugeye that was a one owner car for it's first 40 years. I went to New Mexico to pick it up with a trailer in '96 and have had it ever since, it's lived EVERY day of it's life in a heated garage and is almost completly original.
I also have a '55 MGTD 1500 that was restored in the early '90's, I've had it since the mid '90's. I love to look at the car but I hate to drive it. And yet I keep it.
I've had other bugeyes in the past as well as an MGA and a green MGTD, loved that TD. I also had a yellow and white Metropolitan. Wonderful rust free car that I never should have sold. When I was young and stupid I had a Big Healey, black 4cyl. that I bought and sold for a profit in about a week. Another car I should have kept. I also had a '75 Mini 1000, a Canadian Mini that I drove thru much of the 80's. This was a time that you couldn't drive non-federized foreign cars in this country, I was younger, I knew the guy at the licence bureau, and I didn't give a darn. It was blue with a tan interior, it always started, almost never broke. It was a great car. I sold it to a friend of mine who wanted it for his adult son, he went thru it and put a small fortune into it. I thought it was fine the way it was. But then this guy was doing what turned out to be a 95 or so point restoration on a Morgan, so he wasn't completly sane to start with. Nice guy, he drove a limo for a service at the time, his name is Chuck, but when he drove, he did the whole English limo driver outfit, hat and all, and became "Master Charles". He always told his "clients" that his skills were gained "out of the country", actually he was brought up in Canada. He made a LOT of money in tips. Oh my, aren't old memories fun?
In the catagory of interesting but not British, I also own a fantastic Meyers Manx dune buggy that I arguably consider one of the finest in the country.
I also had a '64 Chevy Van (an "early) as they call it. and I owned 3 - 75 Leata's out of about 19 produced, I wound up selling them to a guy who took them to Puerto Rico, bet none of you have ever heard of a Leata anyhow. But then all this can be talked about another day.
Glad to be here, hope to make a new friend or two and maybe even learn something.
Regards all
