Be still, my heart!

Oh, how I have dreamt of you. I knew you would return, sooner or later.

But is it really you, or an imposter??


An imposter, apparently.

Because the REAL you had a temperature gauge in the center of the dash, so I could watch you overheat in the heat of summer, or miraculously, in the middle of the winter.


And the REAL you had the sunroof cut from another parts car, then pop-riveted in place from underneath. With lots of silicone. Kitchen & Bath silicone.


And the REAL you didn't have some harlot's dream of an interior. No, you had the Renault R5 Sport special seats, in grey, pilfered from a parts car. And a tach! And a leather Gordini steering wheel.


And yes, the REAL you had a high compression crossflow head from Archer racing, with a side draft Weber DCOE, and a racing cam.


So no, it's not YOU. But yes, I think I could love you.
