Dear Alpine List:

I recently sent this posting to the MG list and they are already working on a List Logo--thought I would pass it on to your list also:

I read your entry info about vendor and business posting to your list. I am a Porsche/VW enthusiast (and MGB owner in college) and have started part-time business monograming mostly hats for VW, Porsche and British car shows. My college senior son has a 59 A Coupe we are restoring and with college expense it prompted starting this hat thing. I am currently on 2 VW bus lists and both had a List Member decal to show they were members of their list when driving their vehicle.

After attending several VW shows and having bus list guys come up and introduce themselves, the idea occured to several of us that it would be nice to have a List Hat so a list member would know instantly when meeting someone at a car show that they were a member of the list. Thus, the List Hat was born.

To see a sample of both bus List Hats check out: http://gerry.vanagon.com/hats/ (I have other colors of hats available)

I don't have a web page yet but am planning next winter. I would like to ask the list to see if there is an interest in doing an affordable list hat for your list (if you don't already have one). There is no upfront digitizing charge--generally $50 to $100--charged by commercial hat places and members could order directly from me and I would be glad to collect and forward a license fee back to your list for list maintance cost.

If you have an existing logo and it is not too complex, I can scan and digitize it as you can see from the two samples. Please drop me a line if you are interested.

P.S. I have vended the last two years at the British Gathering in Townsend, Tn. and am on good relations with that group.

Thanks
