Hey Eric: Izzat an MG? Boy, you MUST be a masochist, a Brit car AND a big round engine in the same hangar!!! (Just funnin ya, I have a 71 BGT and a couple BSA's and Trumpets, so you can tell I must enjoy mental anguish and spending of cubic dollars)


Yes, it's an MG Midget, but it serves a very important purpose. I use it to reinforce "my theroy of aviation relativity", 10 years ago, when I bought my Bonanza, I thought it was brutually expensive to operate, then I bought the Yale and the T-6 and I realized that the Bonanza was nearly free to operate, so I bought the Skyraider and suddenly I could fly the Yale and the T-6 all I wanted because the were realitivly free to operate compared to the Skyraider. So, you see, if I didn't own the MG, I could never afford to fly the Spad. :roll:

Well spoken. Only someone used to the flow of dump-trucks full of hundred-dollar bills could understand the logic inherent in that statement.... <G> :shock:
