I miss the old all in one list. I belonged to it about 5 years ago when I
owned my assortment of British Cars (79 MG Midget, 67 TR4A, 67 Landrover,
65 Hillman Minx, and 2 74 Mini's). Since I had a mix of cars the make up of
the list was perfect for me. I especially miss the stories from the Cobra guy.
