        Here's some more reasons to shirk responsibility...

        You can see a formerly overweight photographer get seriously soaked
        trying to get great shots of you and your friends making rooster 
        tails... or 

        See how many Ferrari owners are real vintage racers ormerely 
        diletantes (sp?)... or 

        See if lap times on the pre-war cars do actually drop in the rain 
        (I suspect they may actually go faster). 

        Finally I'll be bringing BFE's new tappet liner and GT40 tappet 
        conversion set with me for all to marvel over. 

        I just had a thought. I've got a Ford alternator and voltage 
        regulator on The Green Man. I'm about to install GT40 tappetts...  

        Is my Triumph turning into a Cobra?
