Hi Neil -

Look for a Turd Brown 84 GL with a "baby" wooden enclosed trailer on
the east side of the event on the grass (unless Ronnie moves me to
somewhere else). "Gloria" is in tip-top running shape (fingers crossed
of course) and should easily make the trip with no sweat (again,
fingers crossed).

I'd take the 914 but it's too cramped to sleep in and is horrible for
hauling parts :)  Besides, this is a Type 2 event :)

CU and all others there :)
