I'll second that. There were eight of us from the list who went to Jack's
house after the show. Having met 7 others from the list and having spent most
of the day walking around the cars, talking and swapping stories, I now know
why the list is so great. Good folks.
Everyone from the list who had a Triumph at the show won a trophy. There was
also a sharp TR4 at the show which was only about a 200 cars older than mine.
It also was a factory pick-up and the original owner was showing it. After I
spoke to the owner I think we'll have a new list member. Are you there,
Susan?
BTW - the Taurus I was driving was a rental -paid for by the "other guy's"
insurance company. Hopefully my 300Z gets out of the shop today - 4K in
damages - also paid for by his insurance. (The TR4 is in Florida and that's a
2 day drive from the show location).
Cheers.
