Hi Cisco,
When I bought my MGB on Ebay it was in Rockhampton and being a Bundaberg born boy I couldn't resist driving through !

How the hell do you get in and out of it? I tried sitting in a mates one not long ago and nearly had to call the SES to get me out, damn thing is so low to the ground I couldn't get any purchase with my legs.

Yachts and old cars. I have a 1954 Triumph TR2 and a significant number of TR owners are also sailors.

Equally quite few yachties are also motorcyclists, plus a few others that I have met are are also shootists. So probably all in all yachties are just normal people.

I have been doing a lot of welding on my Fiat 850 coupe lately. With a race seat I struggle to get in, next time you drop by try that for size! Cops took my rifles!

My 84 Fairmont has out back pack springs and I have no trouble getting in. Getting out is a struggle because it is such a nice car to drive.

I alternately call it The Silver Shadow by night or Francis Fairmont by day.

Sorry fellas couldn't resist but I thought this was all about sun, surf, boats and the ocean.

You forgot to mention the rear louver...?

Well yes. The internal rear louvers are hard to come by. This is the third car I have had that particular set in. The hot wire mags have been on two other cars as well.
