Why thank you Barry, for the compliment! (You guys should see him dance!
They're really good!)
Just a couple of questions-
Did the bar really close at 11:30? ;-)
Why put the top up? If you keep moving-you don't get wet!
It was a really great time-my first Triumphest, first Rallye, first
Funcours, first Funkhana! Don't see how it could have been any better-even
with the rain! ANd it was the people who made it so special.
Had a great drive home-but, started having some problems when I stopped for
gas-time to change points I guess (tomorrows project). Already Dave and I
are putting our heads together thinking of how to make the car better. Yes
folks--BETTER! So, watch out you all! (That includes you, Barry)
Oh-too bad you missed Alan and I drench ourselves in the Funkhana! But, we
did get a "standing o" of sorts-they told us we should get a prize for most
entertaining. It's really difficult to drive a slolem when you can't stop
laughing!
Yes, I did see Eric. But, no matter-I already get parts at cost.
Hope to see you before next year-but see you next year for sure!
Laura G. and Nigel
