My wife wants a car. Oh boy. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

We all know that when it comes to cars all most women care about is if it's cute and gets them from point A to point B. Well my wife has always loved the old Fiat spyders and the MG midgets. She comes back from the grocery store last saturday and says OMG! I saw the cutest MG midget. It was black on black and the guy said he has 3 of them and that he restores them and she gets his number. He only lives 1/2 mile from us. She says I thought we could take the Z over there and check his cars out. So we did. Very cool guy. Very neat little cars. He had several in various states of restoration. When he gets them if they are to trashed he parts them out and makes $$$. If they are in good shape he keeps them. He pops the hood and it's just a little 4 cylinder. She says so what do you think honey. I say I think I could tub it out and put an LT5 in it with the ZF6 and run 8's at the drag strip. She then punches me in the shoulder. Lol! So it looks like there's an MG midget in her future. I know she'll love it.
P.S He drooled all over the Z. And his eye's lit up when I told him my 68 Mustang was up for sale. So I may have found a buyer or swap it for one of his midgets.
