Wow, nice chick magnet, Swishy baby! I can't wait to see a picture of it with the top off and you inside.

That pic was taken at my brother's house this past Saturday, and he lives about 45 minutes west of me. My yard has no snow at all at the present time, and you know how much I hate the stuff. We expect temps in the 50s tomorow, quite balmy for this time of year, and I welcome it with open arms. This car will be garaged until the warm, sunny days of late spring, but I'll be sure to post a pic with me in it if you feel you need one.

I'll be needing one.

Those puppies are really popular up here in British Columbia. Are you going to get involved in the British Car clubs? Cars here have to be 25+ years to qualify for Collector's status in shows. My old boyfriend used to have a bright red Karman Ghia coupe and I was shocked at the amount of attention we got from stranger's on the street. It was so much fun! I loved the cameraderie of the specialty car crowd and it was sooo easy to find cool things to buy for gifts.

Of course, as you've already probably noticed, stereo installation is a big problem if you want to keep your original dashboard. Is the interior in its original condition?

so I guess I have to join. Mine is designated a "classic" based on the age and the fact that they no longer make them. In 2005 I can get "Antique" plates for it, meaning no more annual inspections. The seller gave me all the original manuals and paperwork (all pristine since he is also a collector), along with the official "birth certificate" on the car for which he paid $50. As for the dash, the only thing different is that he the radio which he replaced as soon as he bought it since the originals were garbage. I have to repair the connection to the right speaker because it's shorting out. Overall, the sound system is crap, so I might have to upgrade it. I certainly won't alter anything on the car to do it. Maybe some speakers under the seats or something, I really don't know what will work.
