Princeton, MN Hotbed of classic sports cars?

We have already established that in addition to my MGB there is also a R/H drive Ford Capri in town, the owner of which also has a Sprite. In addition to this, today I spied a '85-ish Porsche Carrera Targa parked in town. Lovely car in bright Red. It would have been even more lovely had it not been packed with snow and frozen slush at the rocker panel level. Still, it was very nice to look at (Will people feel the same when they see FG parked in the street?) I wonder if the owner lives in town...

Jay Leno-h no...

For a bit of fun I was checking out the website of noted car enthusiast and TV talk show host Jay Leno.

Jays car collection is amazing and it doesn't just include cars. He has a fair few motorbikes and even a couple of aircraft.
Alas he doesn't appear to own an MGB...

What a wonderful drive!

Zipping along the country roads around Princeton, clipping the apexes of the curves like a pro. The engine sounding magnificent growling like it should. The roof down, the wind in our hair...
Then I awoke from my daydream. I was still stuck in the traffic on the way to work this morning. Complacency from MnDot last night had caused chaos during rush hour.
Oh how I wanted it to be summer..
FG sits there, sheeted down in the corner of the garage on dollies, perhaps he's dreaming of the summer like me.
