[Leica] Dinner in Chicago with Lluis Ripoll: Thursday, 5 October 2017

[Gene Duprey]

Greg, Lluis,

Hey guys, We got about 100 miles from the house and we heard a big
Bang/Thud in the car.  Not sure what the problem is, but it is not
accelerating right, so we turned around and made it back to the house.  So,
we are going to have to cancel our trip.

A huge disappointment as we were looking forward to the trip to see Lluis
and the gang.

Hopefully this will be covered by the warranty on the car.

Drink a couple for us.

Regards,
Gene & Chris
