yeah. sitting in my garage is my dads first car. an Austin Healey 3000. its a 67. IMO one of the sexiest damn cars the brits ever made. here's what they look lke. his has is red like this one, but with black instead of white. and his was supercharged. just FYI, that car weighs less than an E30 and comes up to my nipples (i'm 5'8) sexy litte 60's sports car

me and my dad were working on a 78 lincoln continental coupe, and we were going to get an MGB, nice cars. We almost bought a running triumph spitfire for $900 bucks, but they aren't good, tr7's are a lot better.

hey now spitfires are nice. ( though you do have impecible taste in cars .i wanted to by a 62 continental but couldnt afford it)

heres the current source of any automotive frustrations

77 spitfire. BRG ( british racing green)

and this is the MG, its fate is still unkown. one of my professors might have floor boards for it. i gotta check that.

lol didn't mean it like that hoppy, just saying from a guy that specializes in old british cars said that. He owns a place near my dads work called British Racing Green, and the place is full of old jags, triumph's, and Mg's. I mean at least 150, most are rusted tho lol. I need to take a pic sometime for ya.

That's awesome, my dad will probably be getting an MGB soon.

Thats right, My austin Healey OWNS! lol. its a fun little car to cruise around in. my only complaint it that the clutch is heavy as hell being that old (i'm used to high tech lightweight clutches because i usually drive my uncles maranello when i go up there)
