In the entire world of worlds, there does not exist sufficient TLC to give for old British cars.

LOL!  But, think of it this way: folks who've never had anything but fuel-injected, computer controlled modern cars have missed out on a lot!

- The thrill of gudgeon pin failure
- The excitement of the lights going out at speed in the middle of the pitch black night
- The carefree fun of mismatching the knockoffs and watching as your wheels and tires get to the intersection before you do
- The sudden focussing effect of catastrophic failure of the single-circuit brake master cylinder
- Hot oil dripping on your legs after running down the oil pressure gauge line

I've barely touched on the electrical system, but there's lots, lots more fun to be had!

You know why British auto parts come wrapped in plastic, don't you?  It's to keep the smoke in them until they're installed.
