Another LBC In The Garage
Created on 2008-12-20 11:30:30
Fall of 2008 found my thinking about adding another car or replacing the MGB GT. As the girls are getting older, they do not quite fit so well in the back seat anymore. So on to eBay and Autotrader I went. I found a 1962 Triumph Herald that was located in Scotland. I true british car with RHD, built as a saloon it had a 'real' back seat and it had been converted to be a convertible too! The best of all worlds. So I started the negotiation with the wife. Needless to sat a secong LBC was out of the question. My 9 yo daughter was pretty adamant that the MGB GT was not going anywhere. Well during the talks, the car became "No longer available for sale". Well that makes that decision easy. Fast forward a month or so and I am not at my eldest daughters for Thanksgiving. After dinner, she hands me the phone (with my son who is stationed in California with the Army on the other end) and an envelope. They tell me belated Happy Birthday and in the envelope is the shipping papers for the car I had been considering! Mt wife is still not real happy about the second LBC and the 9 yo daughter is still sure the MGB GT will still be around when she starts driving so this next spring should bring some rather lively discusions...
