                SHOPPE KLUGE CORTINA DISMEMBERING PARTY 
                ---------------------------------------
        
                Well, the landlady finally popped over for
                a surprise visit, and BOY! was she surprised.
                Technically, we were supposed to reduce the 
                number of vehicles in the yard since her last
                visit (it was one of the provisions for her 
                agreeing to give us a lease). So, being
                somewhat technically-minded, I set upon the 
                number of vehicles in our yard and began
                reducing them. Now she tells us she meant
                FEWER vehicles, not less of each. 
        
                Oh, well.
        
                
                Now we have to get rid of vehicles. The two 
                easiest to remove and worst to look at are
                the dead, engineless Cortinas in the drive.
                
        
        
                THE PLAN
                --------
        
                Shoppe Kluge hereby invites anyone who can 
                turn a wrench to show up Saturday anytime 
                after 10am to reduce BC and Fin(is) into com-
                ponent atoms. Since all we're doing is 
                removing pieces, absolutely NO mechanical skills
                are required. All you need to bring is your 
                limbs and your mouth (the rest of your body
                may be necessary to transport these pieces).
        
                I (and perhaps other members of Shoppe Kluge)
                will provide some decent form of beer appropriate
                for wrenching, a dinner of some sort (I was 
                planning a huge vat of spaghetti, but everyone else
                seems to be planning on getting pizza; we'll see)
                and snack food if I have any money left (don't
                worry, there'll be something to nibble on). 
        
                Since I have a limited supply of tools, it would
                help if people could show up with at least a 
                few of their own. Since these are British Fords, 
                all you need is a ratchet, a rack of SAE sockets,
                and a 1/2---9/16 combination wrench. Make sure you
                bring a socket extension, too, if you bring sockets;
                it'll help.  
        
        
        
                Don't worry about there being too many people;
                I sure wouldn't mind a whole lot if this event
                degenerated into a party by nightfall, and Lord
                knows there's enough wrenching for 20 people. 
                DON'T BE SHY, PLEASE SHOW UP. 
        
                RSVPs are really appreciated, but not at all 
                necessary:

                DIRECTIONS
                ----------
        
                To get to Shoppe Kluge:
        
                Get on Soquel, at the exit from Hiway 1. 
                Head toward Santa Cruz (right at the light at
                        the end of the Hiway exit, left again
                        at the next light at the end of the 
                        frontage road the Hiway exit runs into).
                Go through the next light. This is 7th st.
                The road will go downhill after the light.
                At the bottom of the hill is a large, well-marked
                        intersection that is right-turn only.a
                        This is La Fonda. Turn right onto La Fonda.
                
                Follow La Fonda through its two long, sweeping, right
                        hand turns, which are very difficult to apex 
                        properly at legal speeds and while obeying 
                        traffic laws and looking out for bicyclists
                        and small children (of which there are plenty).
                        The road then turns left onto a bridge, a turn
                        which I find very easy to apex properly under
                        any conditions. Go over the bridge, and look 
                        for the left-hand only turn which is hiding
                        amidst the brush almost immediately thereafter.
                        This is Holway.
                
                Go almost to the end of Holway, and turn left into the 
                        driveway. 
        
                Park in the yard if there's any room, close to the house
                if you're on a bike, or go back out to La Fonda and turn
                left, then turn left at the next two stop signs, and park
                anywhere when the road makes its first right-hand bend. 
                Then walk through the shortcut straight into our yard.

        THESE ARE THE ALTERNATE DIRECTIONS LARRY SENT OUT
        -------------------------------------------------
        
          To get to Shoppe Kludge:
           From the intersection of hwys 1 and 17 in Santa Cruz
        Take hwy 1 south.
        Take the morrisey exit,
        the exit will bend right, so it is going directly away 
        from the freeway, when it dead ends turn left.
        (there will be a sign pointing to the right for the
        golf course and the stroke center)
        At Morrissey (the next intersection)  Turn left and cross back
        over the freeway.  The lane will turn to the right in a
        270 degree clockwise cloverleaf, take a very late apex and
        go down the straight until you can turn to the right
        (just before getting back on the freeway).  
        Turn right and make another immediate right.
        You are still on Morrissey again.
        Continue on Morrissey the road will make a 90 degree
        left hand turn and continue past an elementary school.
        Just past the eleme\10ntary school, turn right at the stop
        sign.  
        About a block up, at the next stop sign turn right on
        La Fonda.
        Just before you reach the bridge, turn right on
        Holway.  It will be at the end of the street
        on the left.
