    Yep! Had a great time with you this past run, too! Wish my wife wanted a hotrod like your wifes - guess it?s SUV hell for now. Anyway, always great to see you, Jim!

    You still fit into it? That may be even more impressive than 250K miles on it. Apart from the top rear leaf spring that was forever breaking, and a noisy trans, my GT6 Mk.III (ca. 1973, I think...)...
