I've gotten quite skillful in deleting e-mails on subjects that don't interest
me, but I'm always appreciative of the multiple responses I get on my sometimes
trivial questions.
BTW, I took my Grand Cherokee in for service yesterday, driving my TR250 while
it's in the shop. The Jeep should be done tomorrow. Of course, today North
Carolina gets several inches of snow and sleet. The only day I could really
put my SUV to work in Greensboro and I'm forced to drive the Triumph!
Fortunately they don't have enough salt in town to hurt the car. My car ran
fine in the snow and I got to play a little when there wasn't traffic around
me. Don't think I'll be able to go out tomorrow, though, since it's still
coming down. For those up North who fear the rust monster, I wasn't risking
much by driving today. Sunday I'll get a new frame to start prepping and
moving mechanicals over to it. The goal is to get a perfect rolling chassis,
use the current imperfect body (filled rust on top of rear fenders, bad sills
and rockers) until an abandoned TR4, 4A, or 250 project with a solid body is
discovered. My tentative plan is to follow the example in "How to Restore . .
." by taking new floors, sills, and rockers, and marrying them up to the front
and rear halves of a solid body shell(s). Anyone ever tried this type of
restoration? I really like to drive the car, so my plan is to have the chassis
done mid-spring, drive this summer, and search for the body for next winter's
project during the summer.

Subject: RE: Partial removal from list
Gentleman,
Think about what they are insinuating.
Complaint: I'm finding I'm getting inundated with 6-pack mail (mostly
Good), some I could do without!
Answer: Hasn't this always been the case with a list? Yes I have felt
the same way! But I'm not complaining...Excuse me, I do have one
request...Open the server so that diagrams and photos may be
included...maybe an 80-90K limit per message.
Complaint: we're inundated with useless information I
can see why you're looking for a partial removal. I joined the list, as
with most, to get nuts and bolts advice, even if it's redundant.
Answer: I, "especially", like the useless information comment! I myself
am certain that more valuable info has been passed through this list,
"BY MEMBERS", in the last 10 days, than has been discussed in the past
60. I don't think that anyone who "responded" to my post has put forth a
useless effort! How about you guys?
As a matter of fact they should all be commended for actually liking
cars!
I could start the "Jim Show", I won't do it, I know it's rude to some!!!
I don't understand this mentality, but I will respect it, and keep my
mouth shut

6-pack, How could I remove myself from receiving all of the e-mails
generated everyday, yet still have access to the information (?archives)
when I need it..I'm finding I'm getting inundated with 6-pack mail
(mostly
good, some I could do without)..Thanks, Drew,
At the current rate in which we're inundated with useless information I
can see why you're looking for a partial removal. I joined the list, as
with most, to get nuts and bolts advice, even if it's redundant.
