Selling one toy to buy another

I've decided to sell one toy to buy another. Here's a pic of my '71 MG Midget, it's a pretty neat car, but is never driven. Maybe I'll sell it and get a SD?

The Seadweller would be a lot easier to wear than the MG.

A new SD would look sweet on your left wrist hanging out of the window on that Midge!!! My suggestion is to eat mac & cheese for a couple of months to pay for the watch!!

Is that all you want for it is an SD? I am in Tampa, let me see it! I'll have to look that car up and see what it is, I have never seen one before.

Tell me about it, it's also got the speedo in miles, or some other antiquated imperial measurement...

You can only put fuel in it thats measured in gallons...

and I don't suppose its off road capabilities are up to much either.

But its still a sweet motor

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is not my daily driver - it's been sitting in my garage for two years and I've only taken her out a few times.

Yes, this car is worth more than a new SD, so I wouldn't want an even trade.

And a very nice car it is too!
Ever thought of ditching it for a MKII Jag?

As much as I love my GMT II, that is one great car. I had a MG when I was in high school. I think an MG might be my next toy after seeing those pics. Really cool.
