So I just went out to the garage, curious about one thing.  When was the 
car I plan to get running soon last registered?  What a shock!  16 years 
ago!  I had no idea it was that long ago.  How time flies!

Congrats for the 34 years. That's about when I bought my first Spitfire, an=
d I still have my 2nd bought in 1994, as well as a 1962 Spitfire we've owne=
d for about 20 years.

I hope you get yours recommissioned and back out on the road this year.

The list may not be very active these days but it does bring a feeling of w=
arm nostalgia whenever a post pops up reminding me of those early days of t=
he Internet when your lists brought Spitfires, and other cars, owners toget=
her from many points around the globe.

Currently heading home in a Bond Equipe convertible, roof down as always, o=
n a day thats getting progressively wetter - very noticeable when we have t=
o stop at junctions!

Best wishes to all
From
Suzie Singleton (was Hunneybell all those years ago.)

It's nice to see some activity on the Spitfire mailing list. My Spit still
has the Mail List decal on the windshield!

I bought it around 1990, and it is in good running condition.  It gets
fairly regular use around town as our spare car. Last summer I drove it
from New Jersey to the Eastern Shore of Maryland for a weekend.
