Carl,
Sorry to hear about your dilema. I know that if you were traveling with
the BMCNE group we would have all stopped to help. Of course all the MG
folks would have to take a razzing from the Triumph contingent for an MG
breaking down. Sorry I missed you (and everybody else from the list) at
the show. It was a very nice location and I plan on going back next year.
