I have to agree.. 2500 seems to be a tad light. WyCROC membership is
about 45 cars right now, and I know of about 10 more for sale out here
and at least 30 more roadsters we've heard about that aren't in the club
yet. I know that in Missouri/Kansas/Illinois there are a ton of
roadsters as well, but they haven't formed a "club" yet (hint hint!)
Maybe we should initiate a world-wide count of the remaining
roadsters??
