Listers,
I just wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a happy April Fools Day
and let you all off the hook from the 3rd annual April Feature, "The
Series VI Alpine" that we posted this month. Jan and I must be getting
too good at our craft because I think we managed to upset some of you
this year. I sincerely want to apologize if I have dampened anyone's
faith in us with this story, but it is honestly intended to be in good
fun. Next year, I'll try not to be as convincing. 

The Series VI is actually a late Series V Alpine found last fall by Jan
Servaites here in Dayton. Thanks to a few parts found laying in the shop
and a little help from Adobe Photoshop, we carefully turned the Series V
into our vision of the Series VI prototype..which NEVER existed. Thanks
to everyone who wrote to join in on the fun and wish us a happy April
Fools. 
Sincerely,
Ian
