[TR] The List is Less Busy These Days

[Larry Griffin]

30 years! I've been on the British-Cars, Spitfire, and Triumph lists since
1995. Many thanks to MJB for keeping these lists functioning for all this
time.

I always enjoy any emails from the lists.

Jonmac, your posts are special for your history and knowledge of our cars
as well as your wordmanship.  Please keep them coming :-)

Thanks,
Larry Griffin
