Hi, Nory! Must have been nice all along the east coast this weekend. I
drove my Midget from Havelock to Annapolis, MD and back, with some side
trips around the beautiful backroads of Virginia --- 1000 miles total. I
saw a few American classics, but nothing British, except for the '69 Sprite
for sale in southern Maryland that I reported on before. Actually got a
horn toot and a hand wave from a (new) Corvette driver.
