Hi Guys

OK, I told you that the charity auction would start on March 1st and it did. 
The bidding for a totally rebuilt overdrive or a gearbox rebuild is standing 
at $500, someone is about to get a bargain. I also told you that I would 
report daily to this list. I have not done so because (thanks to list member 
that suggested that I check out the legality of the auction) the law says 
that I cannot do this!! It is so hard to give something away to a good cause, 
a children's hospice.

I spent some 4 hours with lawyers on Friday trying to get round this. No 
offense to any person, but do Lawyers have their hearts removed at law school!

Anyway this is now NO LONGER AN AUCTION.  Instead I am offering some parts 
and my services (overdrive and gearbox rebuilds) to a bunch of my friends at 
whatever price they care to offer me in return. I will then choose to take or 
reject that offer, (I will take the highest) and then donate all the money 
given to me to the charity. On offer is only one overdrive or one rebuild. 
But I repeat it is not an auction.

The previous bids (oops sorry, offers will stand if that is OK with you guys)?

Remember this is all for charity, all the money will go to the hospice 
concerned with the around the world in 80 days event!!!   

A group of people intend to dive around the world in 80 days in old car! The 
Hunts from Scotland are doing it for the children as are the team from 
London. Waterloo Drivetrain Systems    <A HREF="http://www.waterloo-dtr.com/";>
WATERLOO DRIVETRAIN SYSTEMS</A> is acting as service crew on the American 
section of this event and is also donating the time and equipment used to 
charity. For more details check out the link.
