Mayf, and Listers,
IMHO, I am fascinated with an old coot with an impossible mission (like
me). It is interesting to know there is
a dedicated enthusiast trying to set an official world land speed class
record with a 40'ish year old car. If I were
not interested, I could tell from the subject and the sender what the
material probably is, and just delete it. Of course
I might be missing some other topic this erudite Dr. of Engineering
might be discussing.
If someone is uninterested, he is probably uninteresting, personally, as
his heart is not in our Marque.
Keep the dream allive, Mayf, and us informed.
