What did Henry V say about the St. Crispin's Day battle?  Shakespere =
says he said, "From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it =
shall be remembered.  We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.  For he =
today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother; be he ne'er so =
vile, this day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England =
now-a-bed shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here.  And hold =
their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks that fought with us upon Saint =
Crispin's day."

=20

Sounds to me like that fits just as well for that band of brothers (the =
Bob(s), Greg, Bobby, Dusty, and Richard), who held their heads high and =
took on the giants.

Hip, hip hooray!

other Triumphs and Richard has a GT6 street car and a Mini Cooper he =

improving it over time. It did a few Lemon=E2=80=99s weekends, then some =
Chump races and has competed in three WRL endurance weekends. This was =

fun to race against the Corvettes in the rain, but the smaller Boxsters, =
