Lets not carry things too far.  Best thing about Alabama is that it fills
the gap between Georgia and Mississippi.  Then there's the one about the
fire at the Governor's Mansion, it burned down to both axles. Then there's
the one.... Seriously tho, Northern Alabama is hilly/mountainous and very
pretty. Its a swell place. I have no idea about housing prices or the like,
and although I have driven through Anniston on a couple of occasions I can
not speak to its character as far as industrial etc etc.  Hugh? Can you help
on that one?

Hugh - you make it sound so good, maybe we should all move to Aniston...


Brad - I'm further south than that, but - hey, anything has got to be
better than Lincoln, Nebraska.

Later,
Carl F. Musson,
        You can't tell which way the car went by just looking at the
road...

        Hi Brad,

        Go for it!  I'm about 1.5 hours drive away.

        You get all four distinct seasons...but not so long that you
wish it was
        over sooner.  The weather here in the Atlanta ( which would be
about the
        same in Anniston ) isn't bad....short winters, long spring/fall,
        summers.....there are some days when it is really hot.   I lived
in the
        Philadelphia area ( growing up ) and as far as I am concerned,
the
        summers are about the same as we had up there, except that they
were were
        not as many of then up  there BUT!  that = longer Triumph
driving
        periods.

        Anniston is about 1 hour 20 minutes from Atlanta.  You have
Matthews in
        Birmingham ( about an hour west of Anniston ) and Merrills which
is in
        Piedmont which would be almost directly north of
Anniston...maybe about
        30 minutes or so.  Matthews is run by the ex parts manager for
the
        Triumph dealer that closed in Birmingham in the 70;s.  Merrills
is an
        almost forgotten junkyard that has some LBCs left that have seen
very
        little picking action recently.

        You'd have the mountains a couple hours north, plains to the
south, and
        two more hours to the south, the gulf.... a lot cleaner and less
        populated than the Atlantic ( if you do come I'll tell you a
great place
        to go that hasn't gone through a growth explosion )

        If you are a race fan, you have Talledega right there, Atlanta
Motor
        Speedway is about 2 hours away, and of course the best track in
the
        world, Road Atlanta,is just over 2 hours away.

        There is a very active club inTuscloosa, and one in Montgomery.
There is
        also the GTA...the club I belong to. Also the Chattanooga club
is very
        active and have a yearly show in the fall.

        Let me know if I can pass on any other info....You should
contact the
        Chamber of Commerce also...they can let you know about the
taxes, car
        registration costs etc.
