Thanks, guys.

Will be offline for most of the day to drive a replacement trunk lid down to the panel beater/coachbuilder who is fixing all of the rust on my Sunbeam Tiger body. It's about a 12-hour round trip.

Happy Birthday old timer!  A nice relaxing 12 hour round-trip drive sounds like a great way to spend the day.  I know for sure that the Tiger will appreciate it big time.

Jay, I guess you've never ridden with Cheater, there's nothing relaxing about it.  laugh2.gif
