Hey, Stig!

Which color do you want, blue, yellow or white?

This is a pix I took in late Nov. at a place I deal with for MG parts, manuals, advice and whatever. It's up in Rye, New Hampshire, and is called McLean's Brit Bits. It run by a guy named Sam Smith who's been in the LBC biz for years. The last time I was there, he had everything from an old Zodiac to a Daimler dart to a '53 Daimler Conquest with a "Daimler and Lanchester Owners Car Club of Australia" sticker in the window.

He is also now selling some English food. I can order my canned Spotted Dick over the web!

Great stuff dare:

It is a bit of a shock to read all of the old times,and then again they are still locked within me.
It is great that people have recorded his career,and it is there for all to see.Up until now i only had books for reference.
Being in publicity we had a lot of contact,and they will be the times i will remember.We had a wealth of information on all drivers and teams,but it has all gone?

Thank you dare:
