A little bit about myself ...
Little British Cars that have owned me: 1975 Midget, 1977 Spitfire, 1974 STAG, 1998 and 2000 Jag VDPs and now 1976 Midget all over again. I still have the STAG- she is RHD which explains how I have a 1974 model in the USA. What can I say? While on Holiday in 1974 I made my parents detour from visiting Oxford England so I could see the MG Factory at nearby Abingdon on Thames. I was 15 at the time and it was magic to see where MGs and Austin-Healeys came forth into the world! Keeping up appearances in San Diego Hyacinth (2000 Jag), Rose (1975 Stag) and Daisy (1976 Midget).....
