Sad to sell it, more women were attracted to that car than anything I've owned since. Lots of great memories when it was running (and stopping) properly. Here's its twin: |

All it would take is a coat hanger, a few bends and a hot fire and it could be

One day I had a girl in the car and we had stopped at a convenience store to get some soft drinks. The starter was dead when we came back out. I said, "Hey, reach down between your legs there and grab that hammer." She handed it to me with a rather concerned look and said, "What are you gonna do?!" "It's all right. Just sit tight a minute." She watched me walk around to the passenger side, lay on the ground, reach up underneath and give the starter a couple of technical taps. Started right up. "That worked?!" she said. "I thought you were gonna start smashing it with the hammer!" Later I got a hammer of my own to keep in the trunk so I wouldn't have to keep stealing my dad's hammers, even after I had replaced the starter. Always carry a hammer in your tool kit in the boot of your British car. |

I walked home and got my 1956 Ford PU (which always ran just fine) and towed that smoking puppy back home. Yep, drive it for an hour and work on it for an hour, repeat - humfrz |

The way I see it. My car is paid off, has been put into a wall (track indecent), and stripped of most things that make it desirable for the average person. It owes me nothing and its value is far less than what I would be comfortable selling it for. When it gets retired from active track duty, it can sit in my shop and collect dust.
