As I recall, Dale Cook of Apollo Computers & MGB owner started the
original British car mail list in 1987. He started by sending emails to
those of us who were posting on rec.autos and asking us if we wanted to
join the email list he was creating. Soon to be named SOL, standing for
Scions of Lucas. The history of the group from its earliest email list
roots goes back about 34 years, about 4 years before team.net
