Never forget when the wires coming from the distributor on my 68 MGB fused into a solid mass of copper. But as a car it was almost as much fun as an M17. Kept it for 18 years, and hope I can sail Lynne L that long. Rick M17 # 633 Lynne L On Wednesday, April 16, 2014, stevetrapp <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:

Hey guys, those of us who have owned British Cars know that the reason the Brits drink warm beer is because of lucas refrigerators. But we wised up and bought Montgomery sailboats, built in the USA. Steve

I ran out of gas in my 1963 Triumph TR4 and the airport when there flying my 1950 Cessna 170. I put some 100 low lead aviation fuel in the car to get home. It smelled like a plane and ran fine but by the time I got home the gasket on the fuel bowl had swelled, warped, and allowed the gas to leak out profusely. This suggests to me that aviation gas is not always harmless.
