Joe,

Very sorry to read that. The thing with the 544 was hard enough... But it's unlikely that anyone here is about to let you stop driving that 2dr.

I'm on the wrong side of the continent, but the guy who got my 122 isn't interested in keeping it long-term. Good straight body and the right color... just an idea. How's the frame?

On one side of the argument there's preservation of orginal machines, and on
MY side of the argument is enjoying these cars to the fullest. If your period of enthusiasm is to occur within the scope of their lifespan, so be it.

It's hard to dispute that it's admirable and I'm sure many of us were envious at that being your daily driver. half the cars we talk about hardly ever get out of the driveway for one reason or another. Mine mostly get moved by hand & foot for parking tickets.

So... ready to try a 140? The braking experience between a 122 & a 142 is night and day.

Best, -Sean
