Glad to hear you guys are coming up for the ABFM at Van Dusen. As
you know, Ohan has put in a lot of lobbying to finally get us our
own "Rootes" catagory so we're hoping to get as many Rootesmobiles
as possible so they don't snatch it away from us. :-)
I was kind of hoping to have my new Easidrive Minx ready but still
waiting on the carpet set I ordered plus it needs a provincial
inspection and AirCare (our emissions test) so a little too much to
get done in the next few weeks with work etc. getting in the way. So
I will be taking the Rapier instead. We'll look forward to seeing
you and Nancy in either of your beautiful cars. Anybody else coming
from the PTC?
Talk to you soon.
-Alan
ps - Don't forget the Rootes Rendezvous this year, it's based in
sunny Richmond, B.C., nice and close to the border. :-)
