Well, believe it or not The Swede, that's exactly my feeling about cars in general - I don't think I've ever sold one on that made more than scrap value - apart from the MGs of course, not so much cars as transports of delight - the natural successor to my early Lambretta fixation...Bel Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614801876100974056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837345761008423180.post-81627533030861788982012-09-11T18:14:02.554+01:002012-09-11T18:14:02.554+01:00I've purchased six or seven cars in my life an...I've purchased six or seven cars in my life and never sold one. I buy cheap old warhorses, run them until they fail the MOT and move onto the next one without a second thought. As unsentimental as I am about the motor vehicle, your tale of enduring love is quite moving and enough to make me want to break out 'Born to Be Wild' and head out on the highway at 70mph myself - sadly I have a Daewoo Matiz, so I'd need to be travelling downhill and have the benefit of a following wind to really complete the fantasy, but you get my drift. <br /><br />I hope the MG brings you much pleasure and little expense in the years to come.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837345761008423180.post-61925668361026268112012-09-11T17:47:13.657+01:002012-09-11T17:47:13.657+01:00Thanks e.f. - I'd forgotten about those Britai...Thanks e.f. - I'd forgotten about those Britain's toy soldiers, my dad occasionally bought them for me but gave up when he saw that they mostly ended up buried after being involved in heavy trench warfare in the back garden. I never really saw the point of displaying them and not using them - it's something that's stayed with me and I'm immediately suspicious of people who frame record sleeves but never play the records themselves.<br /><br />Sorry about the video = it must be another of those territorial disputes we have every hundred years or so....Bel Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614801876100974056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837345761008423180.post-45799434257260051922012-09-11T17:43:01.464+01:002012-09-11T17:43:01.464+01:00common sense ?

The owner was compulsively obsessed with Britain. It must have started with toy soldiers as a kid...he about 150 grand worth of Britains on display in his house. He also three old MGs. Two of which were so old they had wooden frames. He was into it. Hard to blame him. These cars are so sharp.<br /><br />Though vaguely aware of the scene...you are the first English surfer I've had contact with.<br /><br />Sadly the video won't come up for me.e.f. bartlamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940814285264472785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-837345761008423180.post-82910116204237635282012-09-11T12:20:40.536+01:002012-09-11T12:20:40.536+01:00Gorgeous.

I particularly like pics 5 and 6; pic 5 for the cool reflection and 6 for an absolutely brilliant composition! <br />Some things just DO it for you, don't they? - and so-called 'common sense' never comes into it. Thank god.<br /><br />Honoured to have inspired you in any way at all too.
