Hubby's first car was a Triumph GT6. He really loved that thing. Our
friend has his equally old Austin Healey (which is in pristine
condition, because he's that kind of guy) up on blocks and never
drives it anymore. I think it's a shrine to his long lost youth.

Nice cars. There's a few old Bristish makes and models I like, but I'm
just not keen/devoted enough to restore one, let alone keep 'em
running...

That and his cattle are his 2 major interests. If they bring him the
pleasure that they so obviously do, then I'm quite prepared to join him and
be the baggage carrier. He's been good to, and for, me for 40+ years so
what goes round etc......
