Well Bill dont know how you missed me - I wore my hat the entire time
from Wednesday thru to Sunday Morn.
BTW the White GT with the Union Jack on the top is owned by Richard
Liddick - president of the Baltimore MG Club - and I agree with you
and the others on the outstanding job they did presenting this
extravaganza of MG Cars.
