This Simon person definitely has a point, if you ask me.

Hi Simon,

Yeah, some of the stuff I own/have owned is pretty pedestrian. But my MGB, for example, is, in its own way, just as much fun as the E-Type. And every home owner needs an old truck (don’t they?), and every farm needs an old tractor (doesn’t it?), etc., etc.

Mostly, the E-Type hasn’t had any attention because we’ve moved so frequently the past few years there has been no place to work on it.

You do make a decent point, though. I think I may have some sort of disease.

Roger,
I cannot imagine your the same person who set up XKE.Data (which I consider a hugely impressive effort & where I registered my own car (1r7077) & the same person who (if I may so so) appears to have frittered his efforts away on a miscellaneous collection cars, most of which you should have been ignored from day one!. Why oh why – why not concentrate on one or two cars & reap the benefit & pleasure of owning & driving them.
