[Shotimes] My baby has a new home! (OT)

[Donald Mallinson]

Don,

Sorry to hear we are loosing a SHO fanatic, but you know you 
will still be welcome at the conventions if you want.

I don't remember if you mentioned it, but what did you 
replace the SHO with?

The gentleman lives near Oxford as I do, and thankfully seems to appreciate the SHO and also how well I have taken car of it. In a way, I kind of miss the SHO, but I did have it for 6 years and learned a bunch. Like many of us, my ownership experience was bolstered by having purchased an extended warranty. The SHO is easily the most expensive car that I ever had to keep up, but as we know once the bugs are taken car of, they settle down to make a really nice ride for those who can appreciate them.

When I read some of your post's, that great scene from Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze comes to mind where he tells his new collegues, " I want you to be nice until it is time to not be nice, and when that time to not be nice comes, do what you have to do."
