I just got the January '00 issue of Austin-Healey Magazine today, and saw
Frank's article on installing Sprite & Midget carpet. Frank's byline is
included. I just have to believe that, as a responsible club and magazine,
which they are, AHC USA obtained Frank's approval before the article was
published. How did this thread get into litigation already?
