Isn't that why we mess around with these old cars anyway?

Gary and Dick talk about the magnetic euro-style rally commemoratives from
SUNI 2. Yeah, I like 'em. In fact, my blue SUNI 2 strip is stuck to the
door of the garage fridge right under the green one from the first SUNI, just
above one that reads "It used to be wine, women, and song - Now it's beer,
the old lady, and TV"
Sorry for the crack, but I haven't been publicly PIC for a whole month.
On dash plaques - about ten years ago, I cleaned out a drawer of old
ones - many did not survive the years of maltreatment - and mounted
the remnants in a frame. The most senior was from Don Diego XI of
April 1961. (Steve Laifman, weren't you there? - in an XK140?) So, I
guess the point I'm trying to make is that dash plaques just take up
space in the kitchen junk drawer

It looks great, but make sure your hood doesn't have any bondo first. Mine
slid off the first time I had to hit the brakes on the freeway. Adios.
