Woooot! Terrific! Hope mine lasts close to that.

Heh. I used to go to lunch with a fellow in his MGB-GT. *ALL* of the
bolts
holding the bucket seats in had rusted completely through. On the one
hand
it was kinda neat to dine 'al fresco' anywhere - just pull a seat out
and
set it on the sidewalk. Viola! On the other hand it did make for an
interesting bit of 'bumper cars' while we were driving about!

Who once tried to talk a buddy with a Triumph Spitfire into using it for
endurance racing! {I don't care who ya are - *that's* funny!} It
woulda
been cool. We coulda towed it to a race. He could have driven it for 45
minutes or so. Then we could tow it home to repair. The next event I
would get to drive for about an hour until it broke again. [We had no
illusions of actually winning or even finishing. We just thought it
would
be cool to be out on the track for a little bit ... and he already had
the car.]
