Thanks, took 4 flag-waving candy-throwing boys and myself in the TR4 for
our neighborhood parade. An MG TD got there early to lead the parade,
but a late comer in a new Volvo convertible somehow snagged the lead.
We were toward the back with only a go-cart and a vespa between us and
the pack of 50+ kids on bicycles. Stopped at the top of the last hill,
the parade-watchers at the bottom all clearly heard the "oh no!" from
the bike pack when the go-cart kid ran into the back of the TR4. No
harm done, both the TR4 and the go-cart ride low and we caught him on
the bumper. Say what you will about America, but not a single personal
injury lawyer leapt from the crowd to give me his business card.
No baseball yet, but I've had my tofu hot dogs for lunch and caught another
hour in the TR4 at a brisker pace than the parade allowed. Hope you enjoyed
much of the same.
