>>I still have my 1968 MG B roadster that I bought new in France. It ran when I parked it in 1984 but I let it sit for 3 years while I bummed around the world.
LOL. I have friends in the UK who found a cobwebbed MG parked up in the disused garage of a vacant flat they bought. Turned out the car was bought by a doting US millionaire father for his son attending University in the UK in the late '50s. The son drove around in his MG like a star, entertaining the local women and having a blast until it was time to return home to a society wedding and life of prestige- at which point the car was parked up and abandoned for 40 years. That's wealth for you. Are you one of those? ;-)
>>BTW I turned it over to a shipping company at Rhine-Main for shipment back to the US.
That's actually funnier than you expect! Will explain one day.... - J
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
