Jean,
Although it is a long drive from St. Louis to Portland it is an even longer
drive to Worcestershire. And the top on the TR6 is not THAT waterproof!
Seriously, is it coincidence that the two events fall on the same weekend?
Maybe we should set up a live internet link between the two events and
we could watch and interact with our brethern across the sea. We could
go on our early morning breakfast run at the same time you lot break for
lunch and some bitter!
The next step would be to have several satelite VTR's around the US so that
the west coast and east coast folks could participate without the 6,000
mile
drive. And ultimately every individual could log onto a live internet link
from
his/her home and thus save driving anywhere!
Just kidding.
