Thank you Fred. I find it INCREDIBLE that Leon would give out Dan's name as
a reference with, as I understand, no prior consent. We can only hope
anyone else actually considering make a loan of a car WILL check the
reference.

Listers, I have sit back and waited 4 days to see if there would be any
response to this post by Leon, none came forward, so I will post a answer to
it knowing full well Dan Masters is not on this list at present and even if
he were he is way to much of a gentleman to answer back, even when he
should. Dan Masters loaned his T/R 6 to Leon with the followimg results,
motor locked up/burned up, from a busted radiator hose and yet he continued
on his journey knowing what had happened to the cooling system, both front
fenders and hood mangled from the use of a screw driver trying to open the
hood when the cable broke, yet he continued on, interior soaked wet from a
thunder storm with the top down, yet continued on. Dan had to drive almost
300 miles to retrieve his car and borrow a pick-up truck and trailer to get
it home, you know who paid the expenses for both trips and the return of the
truck and trailer, if some of you remember this list and the Spitfire list
list took up a colletion to help offset some of Dans financial loss (in
excess of 1K not counting the body & paint work), now Leon is giving out
Dans name as a reference, knowing he is not here to answer back, which I am
sure he would not, Dans a complete gentleman, and let me tell you "I AM NOT"
a gentleman when it comes to this kind of crap, Leon, you used, then abused
Dan, and now you come back for more, this is your reference as to borrowing
a car and then rubbing it into him again, this list help pay for what you
did, call "HERTZ" they are in the business of renting to abusing clients
I'm not sorry for this post, this list is much stronger than 1 person and
should always remain that way. I thank you for your time. "FT"
