Good point! But I think TeriAnn said it would be neat to have
some connection with "computer" on the design, and I agree. Also, how
else will lone Britcar freaks who see the patch/tshirt/sticker at
a convention know that there is a mail-list on line, other than by
seeing an email address? We want to welcome anyone who can email!
True, we probably shouldn't use "Alliant," but can we think of
something else? An abbreviated/generic email address like
...!british-cars? Or how 'bout a network cable in place of
the lightening bolt? (too hard to tell it apart from other cables?)
How 'bout a smoking network cable? (a la smoking wire suggested
by Ed Burns... :-) Put a mouse on the end of the cable? (too
complicated?)
Check it out with the design prototype... The design sounds like
it looks good so far. Good work! Wish I had some software like
that! ;-)
Also, I would be willing to pay a higher price for having more than
one or two colors in the design.
NEWS UPDATE::::
There was a new transmission under all those cobwebs on the GT6+!!!
Cool! We're putting him back together now, day by day, as the parts
orders come in. Oh this is so FUN! I can't wait to drive him!!!
And of course I'll wave to any other Britcar I see. (I checked with
Mitch, a TR6 driver, and he said he waves to MG's...) That was the
first thing I learned about britcar owners --they all wave to each
other across intersections. This one guy I knew in college had a
burgandy TR6 (his twin brother had one, too, only with a white soft
top) and, even though he didn't know how to change the oil, he knew
to wave to all other britcar drivers!!!
