Hi Chris,
    Well, now that you have the Series V up and running, will you be able to
join us for the trip to the United in Charleston?  We would love for you to.
We will be leaving Marietta about 6AM and we will be returning on Monday.
If you have any questions just contact me by email.
    If there are any others out there in the Atlanta area that would like to
caravan with us, we would be happy for you to join us.  As of now we have
about 8 cars.  Maybe someone could forward this to the Tiger List and other
Rootes lists.
Thanks,
Bob Berghult
Series IV 39 (mine)
Series II 30 (wife's)
