        I haven't seen the Old Satchster since Albany (the previous one)...
        I HAVE been using his technique for opening the "shampoo" however...

        Didja see the atricle on the history of Triumph in this issue of VL?

        Don't go rushing out to get a copy... I DO know the author... 
        You might say we're VERY close... If you play your 
        cards well I might be able to arrange for an autograph...;-)

        John, Did you get my post (I think it was last month)?

        You mentioned that your `4 was an ex vintage racer... I was 
        wondering from whom you bought the car... a guy I know, Charley 
        Kates, owned a red TR4 that was "wicked fast" on the vintage 
        circuits here about. He dropped out of sight a couple of years 
        back... as I remember, he lived in Nashville.

        Ken Gillanders used to crew for him... 

        Take care... Give my regards to your missus
