Re: Looking to buy my 1st B--how does this one loo
Hey Jaybird, is this how the addiction goes?
1. See a little MG, fall in love
2. Hunt high and low, find one listed in "good condition, needs a little TLC"
3. Go see car, realize you don't have that much love to give. "Good condition" means 1/3 covered w/rust, seats have a mouse in residence, speedometer broken, "pretty red color" described by owner has faded to pink, and engine possibly held together by duct tape.
4. Return to #2, but only go for "really good condition."
5. Go see car, looks ok, purchase, attempt to drive home, get stranded on roadside.
6. Tow home, tell significant other it's a "project."
7. Clean out garage, fill back up w/"project" and all necessary parts (and some you haven't a clue where they go.)
8. Many thousands of $$$ and months (years???) later, "project car" is RESTORED.
9. Drive it once, come home, spend rest of evening tinkering w/engine.
10. Miss the fun of restoring, go back to #2.
