Re: NEW TO THE GROUP

Boy, you go out of town for 5 days and miss a lot on this group 
site!  Hi Chris.  Don is correct in that I used to own the car you 
are interested in.  She is a wonderful car in terms of reliability 
and would be stunning with a new paint job.  Please contact me off 
list if I can answer any specific questions about the car that you 
may have.  The car was gone through mechanically with an emphasis on 
reliability as I used her as a daily driver.  

By the way, don't be concerned about right hand drive.  As far as I'm 
concerned, RHD is the only way to go.  It drastically increases the 
fun factor!  My wife currently drives a RHD Mini Cooper (yes, we have 
the Brit car bug bad!) and I steal it as often as I can for a dose of 
good fun.

Good luck and let me know if I can be of assistance.

Regards,
Tad
