Fellow Listers
The following is a message posted on the Triumph list. OK. Don't all
shout shame at once, but this looks like a good idea, for all LBC
enthusiasts. Perhaps we should start something similar with our MGs too.
I, for one, would be happy to include my name in such a list, and, if
no-one else wants to keep a register, I would be happy to. Just send me
the appropriate details, and when someone is looking for help they can
apply for a few options and they will be given to them. We couls perhaps
also use this for the transportation of heavy parts from one area of the
country to another, just a thought.
Let me know what you all think and I will start a list.
