I agree. I'd still have mine in the garage were it not for the accident, however, I'm just glad now that I wasn't more seriously injured and that the wonderful little S kept me safe. I'm if Volvo drivers will be allowed in the celebration at Pebble Beach?

I'm guessing if any of us make it to 2027, he won't be too picky about who shows up.

My granddaughter will be three in 2 months..... can't wait till they are in town again..... looking forward to taking her for a ride!!!!

Gotta get some of them "scoops of happiness"!!!!

I will plan on it; hopefully 'driving' there in my classic. We have a very active member in our MG club who is a young 86, so it can be done.

Hmm, I wonder what the "hip" drink will be fifteen years from now? In 2027 the most popular drink for us Vintage folks may very well be a "Black Lightning" *

















* It is a drink that I invented for seniors made of 3/4's prune juice and 1/4 vodka. It can be served either on the rocks or at room temperature with a warm milk chaser.

I think that you can rename the thread, "the time has come, but maybe not"
On a good decision.

That is what my initial market research showed as well. For a brief moment, I thought that I could make a killing selling them in St. Petersburg, FL and in other retirement communities in the south. I guess that I will have to go to my fall back invention and try to make my fortune selling "multi-colored invisible duct tape". I thought that this would be a popular item with the NASCAR crews (and fans) because it would not diminish the performance of their "decal headlights" during the night races. It of course, will also not cover up but blend in with the multiple sponsors decals on their cars.
