Wow

That's a rare MGC made for only two years in the late 60's and fitted with the Healy 3000 engine. I actually owned one once. ;-)

Right now, I'm sticking with my '05 MCS and my '04 Toyota Land Crusher. Owning the Land Crusher makes it feel like I'm getting good mileage with the Mini. hahaha

Lots of vehicles have had three wipers, some of them have even been design and marketing successes.

Yep,

Got a '69 'C occupying some valuable square footage back at the ranch. Great car, and the obvious source of my moniker on NAM.

One of the many cars that I've owned and wish I'd kept. Sigh, I was young.

Still haven't driven one yet but I did visit the showroom and got some info that I didn't already know...first and foremost, I wanted a manual transmission and discovered that the 6-speed manuals are full-time 4WD only, the automatics can be switched from 2WD to 4WD.

Also for the time being, the FJs are being loaded to the tip top with costly accessories, taking the base price of around $23,000 up to $33,000...that's every FJ coming in until at least January '07, and I was told that the northeast US is only being allotted 4900 total for 2006...I've decided to wait.
