Bill,

I hope that you are doing great.  We do have some photo evidence of the =
fun that you guys had.  Nothing illicit, just pictures of the aftermath =
of the evening gatherings.  I am talking about piles of empty wine =
bottles that the track most likely needed a front end loader to move.  =
They came with the TR4 when we bought and we save them as part of the =
cars great history.

It is great to hear that you have such good memories of the time at the =
track!

Paul
