[TR] farewell

[TeriAnn J. Wakeman]

Hey Jim, I hate to see you go but I understand that some people evolve 
over time and are not stuck with the same old cars. I missed the first 
post but from later ones I gather you purchased a new Fiat Roadster. I 
was looking at them the other day. Really nice cars without the 50ish 
year old issues. It is just sad to the the old timers go on to other 
things and leave those of us still living with the old TRs behind. A 
quote from the movie The Longest Day "The problem with being part of the 
few, is that we keep getting fewer". I wish you the best.

TeriAnn
Keel owner of the original British car list, the Triumphs list, and the 
Land Rover owners list.
