You live in a very scenic area, how about driving it more? It's got to be a fun car to drive.

By the way, I like your new gold wheels. Mine are gold too. I actually didn't like the gold at first, but I did like the wheel design and I could get them in the offsets I needed. And now, I feel like I don't need gold capped front teeth. :rofl:

Cheers,

Damn! That front slip angle is way too large and the Ackerman is just a muddle.

Yeah, I don't know why but I like the gold. I read the comments on roadkill Dave (Frieberger?)'s mustang with gold wheels and realized many people HATE them. The level of hate of gold wheels was actually pretty fun. Not me. I like them.

Oh, she's driven all the time. I have a 20-minute loop just behind my house that would probably make most people jealous. Also why I have a street bike and a MGA. Drove the hill last night in the (whatever this car should be called) and took a buddy to lunch in it today. It's no garage queen.

But the entire rest of the family like the MGA more. It's been uprated with a 67 MGB motor and I just went through the entire chassis, and I put a sway bar on it (and MGA deluxe disc brakes). It rides really well. My son was falling asleep while we drove the country a couple days ago. The locost, with it's heim joints and (now) low-profile tires is not as smooth or classic. If I give them the choice they always choose the MGA ha.
