The time has come to freshen up our little buggy. I found "Ed" years ago when I went to help a neighbor load a trailer and saw the VW sitting in the corner of his shed. It was being used as a recycling bin and was was overflowing with aluminum cans. Questions were asked; money changed hands and I pushed the little buggy home. Not as hard as that may sound, it was mostly down hill but as the buggy had no brakes I had to jump in and put it in gear to slow down  at the last minute before driving into my shop door like I did when I brought the MG home.
