I think the Chevy will work for you even though I always hope another person will get the Tundra. Parting with the TD must have been difficult; I still think about my '60's sports cars, but I'm not sure I'd fit in them so easily these days (bad back, not obesity).

Congratulations on your new GM tow vehicle. I am sure it will do a great job for you! My current work truck has that powertrain and highway driving at 65mph yeilds me 18 to 20 MPG, depending on the wind and the terrain.

Bob, a P1800! Another great car hard to let go. Hardly see them anywhere anymore. I drove one to Washington state for a friend once and it was a pleasure.

I have always thought those p-1800s were great. I really don't miss the MG TD because I know my freind is enjoying it. I have not had time to miss the XK-8 yet, because this all happened rather quickly yesterday. If I own another sports car, it will probably be an XKE, like the one I owned many years ago. However, my son is a Porsche tech, and he tells me I should stop driving those british lawn mowers and get a real car.

The British Society of Automotive Engineers just discovered last year that motor oil is a liquid.
