Re: Speakin Of "Bein in Love"
I almost bought an identical car locally about 10 years ago. The owner was the drummer of a silly bubble-gum group from the 60s/70s called "The 1910 Fruit Gum Company". I didn't buy it but I did take it for a test drive and the thing really screamed and handled like it was on rails!

Too much like a little kit El Camino for me. There was one in my old town years ago.
Quicker steering than a Midget?

Re: Speakin Of "Bein in Love"
That one is WELL worth the asking price!
Billy... You ain't gonna get it unless you've driven one. That one has about all the 'upgrades' it needs to scare the bejeezis outta most drivers. I'd love to take you on a "demo ride" in one. Used to sell 'em, sometimes had to nearly pour th' prospect outta th' passenger side afterward. Had one fella declare I was a madman, the car was a 'deathtrap'... as he wobbled back to his Capri. Took a few minutes just sittin' in it before he was sure he could start up and drive off.
:smirk:
MuuUUHhHHHHaaaaaHaaHAaaaaaa.

Re: Speakin Of "Bein in Love"
The guys who rebuilt my 'B' engine a few years ago, bought a John Player Special (is that right...the special?) for rebuild. But, could never come up with the money to do the job. As far as I know its still in their garage.
Am I to believe I should pick it up?
Here is the only photo I have of it next to my MGB: https://picasaweb.google.com/Minorsands/1974mgb#5398206741945030050

I just can't get past the fact it looks like something built for a Mad Max movie, but if it's that fast....

Re: Speakin Of "Bein in Love"
I hear ya. Be linin' one up fer that test spin you spoke of. I'll be around there next spring and will have a few days to kill.
So, is the Elise any similar, or are we talking apples to oranges?
