miles north of Birmingham). On the way, I saw:

> 2. Reliant Scimitar
(haven't seen one of those for a long time)
> 3. 2 or 3  pre-war race cars.

> 4. A
3-wheeler, probably a Morgan.
> 5. 2 Hillman Imps. Both on the M40 near the
Heritage Motor  museum.
> 6. Also, just past the Heritage museum,  a Clan
Crusader (I think) (was

> 7. Shelby
Cobra (probably a replica).
> 8. Triumph Stag.
> 9. Healey 30000

VW based Dune/Beach Buggies.

Spectacular weather this weekend in the Puget Sound area.  Temperature
yesterday reached 80, and that's more like July weather for us.  I
had my MGA
out on the road both days but didn't see any other British
sports cars.  Lots
of Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, etc, though.
