Thanks Mark,
I remember Team.net not looking ng after it started. My only access was "il=
legally" at work. Didn't start on the listservs until I got my computer in t=
he late nineties. =20
Team.net was the first wave in the internet really changing the way we acces=
sed info about British cars. An old friend and I still marvel at the things=
we did "without blowing anything up" before you could go on a listserv or f=
orum and ask for advice.
If you ever still go to the SCCA solo nationals let me know, I will buy you a=
beer, it is in my hometown these days.
