Don,
Yes, thanks for the heads up on the Mille. I plan to drive up to the
Bolinas Ridge road tomorrow and see them coming along what must be
one of the most spectacular roads in California.
Then they are dropping into Mill Valley (renamed Mille Valley for the
day by the mayor!) where they will do a drive by of Old Mill School
for waving children.
Very sorry I cannot make the gearbox workshop as I have another prior
engagement. Hope you all have fun and that I have no reason to regret
not attending in the near future! (Gearbox is significantly happier
now running 10-30 in it instead of straight 30).
