Dale Cook worked at Apollo Computers and had an MGB he kept in a single 
car garage that had a dirt floor (if memory serves). In 1987 (maybe late 
86) I was actively asking TR3 related questions on rec.autos when I 
received an email from Dale. He was starting an email group for British 
cars and asked if I wanted to join. Thus the British car mail list was 
formed for all British cars. A discussion during the first year was what 
to call th group. Everyone liked SOL. the original thought was Sons of 
Lucas. I of course objected and it was decided Scions of Lucas would be 
the official group name.  The acronym LBC was coined of Little British 
Car which never felt quite right for the Land Rover and Bentley crowds 
with Large British Cars.

At the end of 1990 or very early 1991 Bill Caloccia, a Land Rover owner, 
created the Land Rover Owners (LRO) mail list. This was the first marque 
list to be split off from the original British Car mail list. LRO still 
exists today. Not long afterwords the original British Car mail list 
spawned individual marque list for just about every British car marque. 
Some survive today, some died young.

Happy birthday Mark, but I consider 66 to be yet on the young side. My 
suggestion is to search for a younger computer savvy person who could 
take over the lists, move the lists to a hosting company, and set the 
domains & hosting  up for dual ownership. That way when you do pass your 
designated replacement could carry on. Better yet, do that then be 
healthy for a long time yet.
