You know that whole joke about why the Brits like their beer warm, right?

'cause Lucas makes their refrigerators too.

5/15/2007 9:07:35 PM

you know the lucas motto?

get home before dark.

It's kinda funny...Cummins actually used Lucas injectors on some of the marine/industrial 6BT's.

Everybody calls them PODs for short.

POD = Prince of Darkness

I should go to this and find someone willing to finance my 1958 TR3-A restoration...

5/15/2007 10:26:41 PM

or you could just sell it and get an MGB

5/15/2007 10:28:35 PM

Which you could sell and get a Miata.

5/16/2007 12:11:31 AM

youd have to sell two average MGBs to buy one decent miata

5/16/2007 9:53:43 PM

OK so whos coming?

5/17/2007 11:07:06 PM

5/19/2007 11:21:52 PM

Tons of MGs, Triumphs, a couple Lotuses and at least one Rolls Royce. Optimus has lots of pictures. Even some Rover cars.

Why would I want to do that... from your pictures... this is beautiful:

it was a joke. but iirc your car is a long way from that one.




i rode in a sweet 65 austin-healey 3000 today, seriously a cool ass car.

5/21/2007 8:38:51 PM

Hehe I think I'll take the 110 next year and enter it in the Rover category. I should have the new door posts on and rust fixed by then.

5/23/2007 12:14:33 AM

The Lotus 7 from those pics is looking nice. I like the stance on that light blue bug too.

5/23/2007 1:15:34 AM

when i pulled up to the british car show in this thing i got a lot of funny looks, so i said what the hell and entered it. they protested a little at first, but i convinced them with the british tag on the front.



i was at normal ride height in the registration line, then as LoYotaNCSU and i pulled away from the tent to the car show area i dumped the air... hahaha it was great riding past the rolls and lotus guys in a v-dub

later while they were announcing winners, i fired it up and made a couple passes by, one with the nose down snowplowing it, the other with the ass end down spreading exhaust pipe all over the lot. maybe they will write something about the german nuicance in they next NCMGCC newsletter.
