Trip Report & Update on theAutoist Collection
WHEW!!
Gurley, AL to Durham, NC on back roads (well, when it got dark, I got on the interstate) stopping at almost every antique store we passed...left home 7am, arrived Durham after midnight....
My big purchase in Dalton, GA was 30 little oriental rugs to go on the floor of my garage next to all my cars....they're the tiny examples of the full size rugs that stores have for you to look at before they make your rug - but the new 'models' made these obsolete so they were selling them....they're about the size of a doormat....now my GarageMahal will have some class! For 6 bucks apiece!
Picked up my MGB Works (factory) hardtop early this morning, left Durham around 8am & got home about 7:30pm...spent some time in Maggie Valley on way home.
Now all my MGB/C roadsters have a factory hardtop!
Next I'll concentrate on Midget hardtops....I've got a factory hardtop for my '74 MkIII Midget & a factory hardtop for a MkII Midget (which I don't own yet - am looking to buy a '66 Midget to go under it!)..so, I still need a MkI Midget hardtop & a 1500 Midget hardtop.
Oh, I'm zipping along today in southeast NC on a curvey back road when suddenly out of the corner of my eye I see an Aston Martin DB4....turn around quickly & backtrack to a restoration shop that specializes in old Mercedes convertibles....there were big 50's Mercedes convertibles, 190SL's, 280'SLs, big 60's Mercedes convertibles being restored...there was also a Pagoda topped SL historic racer in the shop along with the Aston.....and a lone MGA in a corner also under restoration.
...what a shop (between Maggie Valley & Murphy, NC, south of the Cherokee Reservation, in a curve, tucked into a hillside!)
