And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
MG Boat Tail Speedster? I knew a guy in San Jose once who had one and I got to work on it a little bit. Right before he sold it to the Japanese guy who walked into his shop with a brief case full of money. That was in the early 80's when they were buying everything they could get their hands on. The guy restored old MG TC's, TD's and TF's. He wound up shipping off several, along with the rest of what they had pillaged from the area, on a barge full of them back to Japan. It was a neat little car.
