Re: IML: Texas meet good fun, to be repeated next year

["barneyr" <barneyr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Made it to the Rudy's at Round Rock but saw no Imperials so I just drove 
around and parked for a while.  Not knowing anyone I didn't stay after 
11:30.  Anybody that saw a small red pick-up with a lift in the back saw me. 
I will try to get the Imperial running for the one next year.  Seems I 
really missed a good one.
