[Gumlegs]

When I was in the Navy, I knew a guy who had a Jag and kept another car -- we called it his dinghy -- for when the Jag wasn't working, which was most of the time.

Ironically, when my wife and I owned the '68 MG, we also owned a '79 Ford Fairmont. The MG was the reliable car.

Yepper. In Groton, The BEQ was on the SubBase Groton, but my boat was at State Pier on the New London side of the river.

I had a Honda 750F that I rode when the weather was good, and when things got icy, a '68 MGB GT (US steering, women not included).
The Honda was a rock-solid scoot and the MG was pretty reliable most of the time, but I never quite trusted it. It was sorta like the Chinese curse 'May you live in interesting times' as translated by Morris Garage.
