Greg,

Please plan on attending the Team Thicko burnt cow ritual on Saturday night 
in the TT paddock, if you aren't planning on attending the quaint little 
dinner with Phil Hill.

WST

        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?
