Fired it up and took it out for some break-in driving.

VERY serious fun. Not too unlike that 914/6 I was driving at the time.


I wouldn't mind owning one, myself, today.

Almost bought one when I bought the 3P. Kids were getting too big by
then so wasn't much use to the little woman as a shopping trolley. The
X19 really is a 2 seater, definitely not a 2 + 2

Then the practical solution would be to let the wife take the
station wagon, and you take the X1/9.

When I was married, we had three cars. A 4 seater sedan, her MG
and my MG.

After I got divorced I had 7 cars. Lots of choices. Too much fun.

And a whole lot less maintenance.

I'm no longer limber enough to shoe-horn myself into a X1/9.

That's a shame. How's that back doing, btw?

Gee, Steve, I'm sorry to hear that. Having broken mine, myself, I
understand how miserable that can be.

Yeah, I think most of my current problem may just be due to the weather. Kinda
damp it seems, and I'm sure that you as well as I will be getting some rain soon,
at least according to the radar picture.

Been raining here since morning.

Rolls Royce likes to claim they were the first with a V8 engine, in
1905.
Not so! Antoinette was the first in 1902.The engines were used in
Speedboats.

I have lost so much weight (because I am still on my diet) I can now
easily fit behind the steering wheel (with room to spare) of my 1948
Willys Jeep.Those two front seats do not slide back.
