I was looking thru my inventory of spare Bugeye parts getting ready to sell them and it dawned on me that I have duplicates and triplicates of just about everything. I wake up this morning to find a Bugeye for sale about 4 hours away from me for cheap, my wife at the beach, and my trailer hooked up to my truck...what's an LBC nut to do? Well, I bought it and will be picking it up tomorrow, sight unseen.

"sorry honey, it just followed me home!" well done and you can stay in our spare bedroom. :grin:
 
JP,
Im hiding it in the barn with the 2 TR4as and a couple of other items...out of sight, out of mind!

I won't tell her. Congrats. Getting closer with Bugsy IV.

I had to read this twice to realize it was the Bugeye hiding in the barn - not you!
 
You are living on the edge. Good luck.
 
Definitely walking a fine line here -- better you than me! Do send pics when you get a chance, and make sure you carve out a little space in that barn for sleeping. Just in case. :cheers:
 
Haven't quite moved up to cars following me home yet, but have a number of completely disassembled bicycles hiding in the garage.

Don't worry, no court would ever convict you using the "Reasonable Man" standard. Lots of Bugeye parts + Bugeye for sale = Buy the Bugeye. It seems pretty simple to me.
 
That's why I sold almost all of my Cortina parts - that way,I wouldn't
be tempted to buy another one.
 
Woe is me, woe is me, sad and broken hearted...the Bugeye didn't have enough left to call it a body, the tin worm had eaten from bottom to top and front to back! I guess for $350 you can't expect much and the owner was very understanding of my reluctance. The car was truthfully presented, but I had a better starting point in my minds eye! We drove over to her Bugeye which she is currently restoring and it looks really good, just a few snags she's got to work thru. After lunch we talked Bugeyes and life in general...it's always great to meet someone from the LBC community and I have a new friend.
For those of you that visit the Triumph side of the forum I stopped by to visit with Marvin Gruber near Florence, AL. I love my visits there and always learn something from the Master! I also picked up a set of TR4a seats for my project and drooled over all of his project cars...got a really pretty MGC sitting in his shop along with TR3s, 4s, 4as, 250s, 6s, big Healeys, and a Jowert Jupiter! I hated to leave!
