Chuck!
I admire your great attitude over the whole thing. I know the amount of
effort that you have put into this car, since the time that Jan & I delivered
this
car to you, with a trip over the mountains.
It occurs to me that, if these guys DID have any idea of this "TR5", it may
be in a container headed for Japan or Australia with a buyer waiting at the
other end.
Of course, we are all standing by, to help get you back on the track.
