Jim, this may discount you from the Lars Anderson thingy this weekend
(July 8th) which I understand has a Triumph theme, but what about the
following weekend (July 15th) at yet another Lars Anderson thingy,
"British Cars Day"?
I thought you were going. I've been planning to go (thanks for the
directions Tom Watt, Bob Leger) for months it seems like. I understand Dale
will be going too, amongst others.
Is there a place everyone can meet at a certain time (I've never been
before, so I don't know the place)? Or shall we describe ourselves
and just keep a sharp lookout.
For instance: I'll be the one with an *old*, white t-shirt with British flag
and words, "Burton-on-Trent ENGLAND" on it. My wife has long, blond hair,
my four year old son has bright red hair, my one year old -- probably in a
stroller -- has a hint of red/blond fluff on his head. (No, I'm not a
red-head, me mother is, I have brown hair.)
At this point all I know who is going is:
Dale Cook with "Grandfather"
Bob Leger showing his Jasmine Yellow TR-250
Tom Watt at the Registration Tent
Jim Muller with "Percy"?
Me! with S.O. & kids
Apologies if I forgot anyone else.
*** Please let us know how to recognise you!!!!!! ***
Can we get anything to eat around there, or is it best to pack our own?
(Just another thing to carry when the family is in tow.)
I understand the cars start showing up between 8.30am and 10.00am and
the grounds are quite busy by 11.00am. I'm hoping to show up by 11.00am
coming up from the Connecticut shoreline.

PS: To Dale, thanks for supporting England in the World Cup.
We almost made it to the Final, Bah Humbug!!! I'm still very upset.
Oh well, here's to beating Italy in the 3rd Place Play-off....
