Re: [HSS] ITS JEFFS WIFES FAULT.......

Bill,



In Item 4 - the MGB - is the Prince of Darkness the same Joseph Lucas to whom we

usually give this title in Australia, or perhaps somebody else?



Lucas jokes:



- Lucas wanted to repeal Ohm's Law

- Lucas invented intermittent wipers....and lights....and ignition...

- etc, etc, etc.



FWIW, I once stayed in an apartment in Birmingham (England) literally across the

road from Lucas' family home. It looked as though he'd done very nicely out of

manufacturing all that electrical gear. Let them laugh, he said.....

Subject: [HSS] ITS JEFF'S WIFES FAULT.......











It really is

She suggested that I put a price on my Hudson at the meet, just for ha

ha's, so I wrote a number in the oxidized paint with my finger......

When I returned from lunch two people were waiting for me, checkbook in

hand.

I had no real plan to sell my car.....BUT I did not look forward to

fixing the dry-rotted right sill and the spongy wood at the belt

line.........let alone the other problem I have..SPACE!!!!

My shop holds six cars with ease, 7 cars with some difficculty, 8 cars if

I do not want to work on anything or 9 cars (I think) if I use a floor jack

to roll one sideways...

the bad news is my current invintory:



1. 1965 mustang gt (in the family since 70)

2. 1928 model a coupe (I have ovned this one since 1973)

3. 1923 Packard (a nice car to look at but a TANK to drive)

4. 1975 mgb (yes it leaks oil and yes the prince of darkness rules this

one)

5. 1941 plymouth (67 thousand original miles and an earl shibe paintjob)

6. 1928 willys-knight great six

7. 1930 dodge da sedan (older restoration, great tour car)

8. 1929 model a roadster pu (we use it as a ranch truck, very reliable)

9. 1934 plymouth pe coupe (needs restoration and every street-rodder that

sees it wants it)

10. 1965 ford pickup (my dad bought it new)



I just do not have room or time or money for everthing



However... a good friend of mine just bought a 1919 O? sport touring so I

will be helping him make repairs on it ... and I will be asking you guys for

advice



Bill
