New member introduction--TR7 Spider

[MCNX BFF]

Hi, Everyone!
My name is Monica and I have owned my LBC for just under a year. It had been a long time coming as I wanted one since I was 16--I'll let you do the math. [:)] In anycase, I purchased my Craigslist car and never looked back--I am loving the experience and trying to convince my husband to do the same! Wish me luck on that one....he just doesn't "get it". [;)] However, after our recent upholstery and paintjob, he may actually be coming around.

I hope you don't mind questions; those I have in abundance. Answers?! Ummm, not so much! Heck, who am I kidding?! Not at all! Thanks, Rich, for telling me about this site and a big Hello to those familar BCF names! --Monica

Welcome to the site. We have the answers. It seems when it comes to TR7's only one Significant Other per family is allowed to like it.[:)]

Next is to get the trick of adding pictures to your post.[:D]




Nice Spider by the way, but then I'm biased.

Hi Monica, from one Spider owner to another. I have 108,000 miles on mine, now, and it still remains a delight to drive and use the car. Every trip is an adventure and over the long haul, it's been a reliable and wonderful handling sports car.

This forum has been a huge help for me in using my Spider as a daily driver!

Where do you live in the US? This site has quite a range of participants; you might find a wedge owner near you.

Hi Monica! Of course it's not as if we don't already know each other...

BTW... My Spider has 122,000+ on it - runs great, but getting a little long in appearance, especially the interior. And I still envious of that material you got for your seats!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Everyone. It is great to be surrounded by others with the same addiction/obsession. Aaah...feels comfy here. [:)]

Jeff, I live in CA and would love to meet other Wedge owners. So far, I have met only 1. I know they're out there!

Gals in the garage--how awesome is that? Sue and Mildred, I am excited to join your ranks!

Posting pictures--UGH! Next time, Merv, I intend to get it right. Thanks for your assistance with that. However, I make no promises! Hee-hee.

Thanks again everyone. Your enthusiasm and expertise are appreciated!--Monica
