Thanks Paul, Comments from long time Sunbeam owners means a lot. There were
a lot of great looking cars at the Invasion. I hope everyone had as good a
time as my wife, son, and I did. This was my first Sunbeam only event, but
surely won't be my last. Ian and his helpers did a great job. Organizing an
event like this must take a great amount of effort. Thanks Ian, sorry I
didn't get a chance to meet and thank you personally. We all hope you are
feeling better. I'm looking forward to the next Invasion.

> For those of you that missed the Invasion, you really missed a great
event. Ian did an outstanding job getting this thing put together and it
was a TREMENDOUS amount of work. From signs to prize bags to making sure
the F-Car got in safe, not to mention putting together cars for the event,
tables, chairs, catering dudes, neighbor that get touchy about lawn issues,
bands, parents needs, wives needs, babies needs, idiot flying in from
Colorado wanting a ride, soda, ice, portable poop houses, dipped cars,
Harrington’s, web sites, phone calls, e-mails, copy this copy that,
drop off this that and the other thing.........

> WOW, it's no wonder you got sick!! But even with that, Ian did such a
good jog delegating and pooling resources, the event moved on. Successfully
I might add. Thank your folks again. This was a great place to gather. I
loved what little I saw of the state and Tipp was a great little town.

> Tim Stiffy. Your car was my favorite, as it must have been for many. The
awards ceremony spoke of that.

> Well, it’s back to the garage to try and finish mine for the next
event. BTW, for those of you considering overdrive, GO FOR IT! I got to
drive a beam with overdrive and there is nothing like it. Fantastic.

> Steve, thanks for bringing the race car. I know it was not cheep and your
Sunbeam enthusiasm was much appreciated.
