I see. But still, thanks for working on them.   Wrenches can be a dying breed.

I don't buy fix and sell. I mostly work on other peoples cars and parts. Hard to believe it has been 50 years since Bob rolled that one off his trailer and into mom's garage. Steve (CTR)

Indeed.  I've never had the time or resources to do that.
Being an incurable Packrat didn't help either.

Steve, these days, guys like you are the exception, sadly, not the rule. Keep on doing that Mini thing you do.

IF IT WEREN'T FOR PHYSICS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, I'D BE UNSTOPPABLE

At a labor Day two day autocross in 1968 Bob Williams offered me a 1960 850 Austin mini. I bought it sight unseen. I have always bought another before selling the one or more I own. I spent 4 hours today working on a customer car, soaked to the bone and still loving what I do. Steve (CTR)
