Where mostly you get treated like you know nothing.
I spied a four cyl head setting with the valves up and said out loud Hmmm, an early A 40 head. The guy looked at me like I was crazy. hehe. I turned the head over to check the number and it was a 2A629. I said where is the rest of the engine that head has a crack in it. He said what size engine does that go on, I said a 948cc MG, Sprite, Moris Minor, or Mini.
He kind of stared at me a bit and said come. Way way in the back, in an out building, dry and secure, covered up was a Mini with the head off. One with a wooden rear like a small station wagon.
I said who does this belong to a customer? He said noooo it belongs to the repair shop owner and he wanted to sell it but it would not run with that head and he has not found another.
I said, you know I have a head at home in the garage just like that one, same number even. NEVER THROW ANY PARTS AWAY.
Left a note for the boss, I've known Bill for a number of years but we have never spoken about little cars, to call me if he is intrested. He even ownes a junk yard, no MGs or Sprites or old brit stuff though he said some time back someone from england bought everything and shiped it back.
Bet I get treated with more respect in the future.

Miss Agatha and a Mini should only take up one of those bays together!!
