Re: [MBZ] 123 still looking good, as it rolls past another broken down pomy car!

Exactly. When I had a TR7 back in the day, there were precious few others
who had an English car ( or any non-American union made car for that
matter). I met a fella at the English shop one day and we were talking
about how much DIY-ing any one human could do on these Lucas/Zenith things
and he told me ( when I was 18 and knew absolutely everything) that you had
to watch someone who knew what they were doing perform a job three times
before you should try it in your own. So, long story short, when I called
him for help as I was in the midst of believing I could rebuild my Zenith
carbs, he showed up with a bucket  for the parts and a tow strap.
Having sold my first MB ('72 220D) to get this damn TR7 (first power play
of SWMBO), I quickly dropped it like a bad habit and went back to MBs. And
she married me anyway.

No, to share Lucas horror stories, or to congratulate each other for having
their cars running!

You mean trying to wave down another one to borrow a Whitworth spanner 
or Lucas bits:-)
