I may be paranoid but I`m sure the Stag has a touch of the green eyed monster.
On Saturday I collected a new project car, it`s a 1973 Porsche 911T and belongs to my ex wife, previously owned by her dad, I started working on it some 10 years ago, and stopped for obvious reasons.
Spent the afternoon sorting boxes of parts andtrying to remember where they had been removed from, and planning the restoration. As I tinkered between garages the Stag seemed to look at me oddly and appeared to say "Who the hell is she ? I ignored this and assumed I had been sniffing too much WD40 ( love the smell )
So Sunday I decided to go for a quick blast in the Stag, to make sure everything is ok ready for the run down to Fontwell, butNO I`mmerrily driving along the local dual carriageway and the engine cuts out completely, luckily I managed to coast into a slip road, with an artic lorryblasting his horn at me (MK1 no hazzard warning lights !).
Call the AA and eventually determine the ignition amplifier on the dizzy ( less than 12 month old )is toast, andhome on a low loader.
Have now fitted a remote mount amplifier, hopefully to keep it cooler and now have the prospect of a nervous run down to Fontwell on Saturday, I have assured the Stag she is my only love, and will not be replaced by the Porsche as she will go back to my ex when finished.
Am I paranoid or do our special ladies (Stags) have a seed of Christine in them ?:shock:
