[6pack] Vanity plates

[Henri Lefebvre]

Stan,

I understand your comment about not getting around to painting the
valence behind the grill.

My TR6 was restored/changed colour in 1985, by a previous owner. He
stripped the French Blue and painted it Signal Red. I bought it in
2000 and I finally painted the valence black this summer while I had
the grille off for cleaning at the same time that I installed new
horns, all of which in anticipation of driving to the 6-Pack 2012
TRials in Niagara. I did not want the 6=Pack crowd to point at the Red
valence !!!
In the end I was not able to attend The TRials but the TR6 did get a
number of good updates over the summer.
