It'll never happen!

Don't know about all 200 at one time but... here is my
contribution.

I am taking #5179 to an antique motor boat show at
special invitation because of the wooden frame.  The
show sponsor thinks the car fits in well with the
fancy wood boat crowd.

Stephen,

The Ingrid Ketch looks to be a really nice boat, how
long have you owned one?  How long did it take you to
build it?  Is that what led you to the Marcos?  Years
ago I crewed on an Express 37, on the southern part of
the Chesapeake Bay.  At that time we had the fasted
rated boat in our class and it was a composite
construction of the type you mentioned. I was
responsible for and installed all the electronics on
board. I live in the mountains now but I sure do miss
the sailing action when I lived close to the bay.

Thanks for the great welcome everybody, I feel honoured to have helped
Marcos Maniacs achieve the ³double century¹!!

I hope this celebrity status won¹t wear off to quickly.

Regards,

Ian.

Don,
       Did you plant that kit marcos on e-bay to get all 200 members to 
write.......That certainly was a clever ploy. Has anyone had the heart{nerve} to 
let that guy know it is a kit and kinda misrepresented?
Hal

Don,
      I asked him for the vin# but he said that he didn't know where to find 
it. I haven't gotten back to him but if you could pass along the probable 
location I would be curious as to how it is a "67" do you know how they vin ed the 
kits...I didn't notice any info on any of the marcos sites that show vins
Thanks,
           Hal
