Mark,
Thanks for the info, it's too bad I can't get hold of a copy. I'm glad you
enjoyed the Townsend show, I think it is one of the nicer small get togethers
on the calender. No serious competition, just a lot of good folks having a
good time. If you come next year (and I hope you do), please stop by and say
hello.

Dave and Hyon-Sun really have a nice car, very deserving of the award. I hope
he has his TR3 ready for the show next year. When I got up Saturday morning,
it was raining, so I decided not to go to the show, but around 10:30, the rain
let up, and I went on anyway. Glad that I did, as the weather turned out just
about perfect for a car show. In the 10 or 11 years that show has been held,
It has only rained once, and drizzled a couple of times. In May here, the
weather is usually very good.

A star of Cyberspace? Hmmm, I don't know about that!
Thanks,
