Douglas,

SORRY, I PUSHED THE SEND BUTTON TOO SOON.

I echo the sentiments on ALL your subjects of your message.

My wishes for your speedy recovery.  I have had 3 angioplasty, with
stents.  They seem to be working.-- Remember.it isn't the Bordeaux,
it's the pate etc. that causes the problem. Mine probably was caused
by living and working in Toulouse. Cassoulet, y'know. The brie did
not help.  But my problem started at 70 and I have survived for ten
years.

Please, no further mention of that pervert.

Bristol?  Yes indeed!  Fine car, but as I recall the 404 was prettier
Aluminium body over an ash frame.  I had a Bristol engine in my 1957
AC-Bristol, back in 1957.  Magnificent BMW derived engine.

Jerry
