I think I started in early 1989. I do remember you already being there.
Most of the members seemed to be from the south bay area when I arrived.
Hardly surprising. I had trouble explaining to other autocrossers in the
Twin Cities what "E-mail" was. I believe I was one of very few people on
the list who was not a computer professional of some sort. The computer
guys at my job were way ahead of the curve on suppling E-mail to
non-computer employees. My home machine at that time was an Atari 800,
which was perfectly adequate for E-mail once I figured out how to get a
non-work provider.
I actually discovered the british-cars list first. That was run by Jim
Muller in those days. When he had to drop it, Mark Bradakis picked it up.

Not sure when that started.
