Marcos Maniacs

I agree, beautiful weather here in northern California also!  Two 
weeks ago did a 250 mile jaunt with the local Brit Car club and last 
weekend 350 miles to the Dixon Brit Car show and back.  I garnered a 
3rd place in the Winner's Circle class which is comprised of last 
year's class winners.  Not bad.  The other Bay Area Marcos owners 
didn't show their cars but I did talk to Steve Frey from Vallejo, CA 
who now owns 3 !!  He almost has his 1500 on the road.
