I got my TR3 in '86 and was asking questions on rec.auto when I got an email (From Dale at Apollo Computer if I recall) saying he was starting a british car email list and ask if I wanted to join. Dale lived in the North East and had an MGB that lived in a narrow dirt floor garage.  If memory serves he gave up in the MG when he & his wife got round enough that they could no longer easily get into or out of the MG.  I guess that may be when you got the list. In very early 1990 the list was split into the british car list and the Land Rover list.  After that all the other marque lists were created.

Had I known what would blossom from those early days I would have kept better records to
document the history. Yes, Dale Cook, then Jim the bluegrass guy [Southern Rail] and on
though the years. What a long, strange trip it has been.
