This is the year of the Morgan, so...
A little tidbit of info entitled "Europe's 15 Lightest Cars". I know about this because my Morgan SS weighs 1650 lbs. dry! Click on the Morgan for the article.
Winding Road Magazine
Over the past few years I have been reading a free online auto magazine called Winding Road. Phil O pointed out that there is an interesting article in the current issue about the Morgan Aero8 that some of you may be interested in reading.
A Chuckle for You
(Thanks to Tony S for passing this one along.)
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO Paperwork and was burned out.
Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to become a mechanic. He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could.
When the time for the practical exam approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%.
Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wonder if there is an error in the grade."
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. "You put the engine back together again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler, which I've never seen done in my entire career!

FABAC St. Pat's Party Saturday March 14th (We beat the whole world to it by three days!)
I fine group of FABACians turned up at the Woodford's home for a wonderful evening of fellowship, food, fiddles, foolishness and fun! Jim, Lorraine, Jen and Rooster outdid themselves in making sure we all felt welcome and had a good time. They must have been exhausted next morning. "Thanks" just doesn't seem enough for all they have done, but a big Irish Thank You to our wonderful hosts from the FABACians.Great prizes of flowers, caps, hats, drinks, CD's, etc were awarded to many who attended. A tip of the hat and another year of honours to Dianne who again went all out to be dressed in more green than ever, proving to the rest of us that it's not easy being green. ;-)
