Glenn,
Your are obviously not concentrating on things V8! This maybe due to
facing the most wonderful part of your life - at least is was (is) for
me! My wife actually tells me to take "her" money and spend it on the
MGB!!!!! You gave yourself away with "weddding"!
Anyway, I have copied your list and will compile a list in Word or
something so that people can get a copy - I have no web page and frankly I
find them more trouble than they are worth.
Thanks for de-lurking - I did think I had found you and sent you an email
to your old AOL address -!!
