Hey fellows,
I now own two cars older than me. Sorry my latest acquisition isn't a
rover. I'm about to start a frameover on Mrs. Merdle (65 IIA) and was
planning on buying a bicycle or using LPCs (Leather Personnel Carriers)
to get wherever I went, but then a cool Mercedes I walk by every day on
my way to class turned up with a "For Sale" sign in it one a.m. It's a
'67 250SE. Test drove and compression tested it tonight. Not mint, but
probably cooler for all the quirks. The guy kept telling me what didn't
work and I kept saying "I haven't had that for 5 years now."
So now I can start the frameover, and when I realize I need more bolts (I
initially typed "nuts" but then had to change it to bolts b/c of all you
dirty-minded rover owners out there) I can drive to the store for 'em.
And I'll have something to lend my pickup owning friend when I borrow his
truck to take my bulkhead, breakfast, t-pieces, and trim to the
galvanizers in Denver.
