30 years! I've been on the British-Cars, Spitfire, and Triumph lists since
1995. Many thanks to MJB for keeping these lists functioning for all this
time.
I always enjoy any emails from the lists.
Jonmac, your posts are special for your history and knowledge of our cars
as well as your wordmanship. Please keep them coming :-)
Thanks,
Larry Griffin
