Daisy, Rose And Hyacinth:
Created on 2008-05-13 20:40:31
Hyacinth is my Jag XJ8 Vanden Plas (that's Daimler 8 in the UK)
Rose is my 75 Stag- she's fast and she's a mess
Daisy is my 76 Midget.
I got Daisy on 2 February 2008. Local car- the PO wanted to sell her to someone who wouldn't break her for parts. Hmmm I still have the scars on my knuckles from fixing my from my first Midget (1974) that I owned back in the 80's so the PO knew I would fix, cherish and pour money into my LBC.
So I drive out to the suburbs of San Diego to check the car out and pay for her etc. I pull up in my Silver XJ8 VDP and the owner's Silver XJ8L is in the driveway. Adjacent in a forlorn heap was Daisy...engine in great shape but that was all. Soon the PO drove up in a MGB, we looked at the Jags and the MGs and laughed. Then he opened his garage and showed me the Triumph TR3 he's working on...and said but I have this my garage. Then I said and I have a Triumph Stag in mine.....then we really laughed!
