Marcos Maniacs

Mike,

Please don't upgrade to the GT40 until after the Motor
Madness here in Roanoke over July 3 & 4th.  Would like
to see you bring it out for the party.  I am planning
a gathering of all the European cars at my business
location on the 3rd with a procession to the curise in
at 4pm.  This could be billed as the largest gathering
of Marcos cars on the East Coast.
