Sten Freak posted:Some guy started a TR7 rebuild thread a couple years ago then disappeared. We had one so I'm really curious to know how it's going. Also someone was doing an 80s or so Jag, also disappeared. I think I was the TR7 guy. It sat in a garage for 22 years, I got it going again, and then all the rubber disintegrated so it didn't get driven as much, and didn't have the $$ or motivation (my wife really didn't like it) to go further with it. I recently got gifted a new car to work on, so I gifted the TR7 on to a colleague's husband.

sharkytm posted:You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means Apparently, gift has been verbed since the 1600s, though I'm usually against the practice. I've also never watched Seinfeld, so I don't have the 'regifting' connotation. What I wanted to get across was: Grammar Party posted:When you use gifted it sounds like you’re doing some thing more special than just giving something to someone. Like you deserve a medal or a certificate of generosity.  On the other hand, I never felt my giving the TR7 made me worthy of praise, it was really the minimum I could do in response, so mea culpa. My excuse for using was that it kept the parallelism of the sentence.
