Hugh, this has nothing to do with the "old guard", but have you noticed that 58' Imperial on e-bay? Only 32K miles and it's just a hop, skip and jump away from you in Brady, Texas. It would be interesting to check out because before Miss Blueberry went into "overhaul" you were under the impression that she was the only totally operable 58' Imperial in the state of Texas. This Imperial might hopefully prove that belief wrong.

Yes we address the same issues over and over again. Many people leave after a year or so because they have pretty much read it all. Discussions about Budd brakes, or what's the best tire to use, or who to use as a shipper, or how many of my year still exist do get tiresome after a while but they are exciting and new for recent list members. On the other hand there is an old guard around here who missed Bob Dylan's intended irony and took this lyric to heart: Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. These same folks, its always the same ones, just love to criticize. Their contributions are substantially in the past but somehow they perceive themselves as the keepers of the flame. And I have absolutely no doubt everybody knows who I'm talking about.
