Re: IML: Respect for "foreigners"

["Robin Giesbrecht" <robings@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is a sad thing to encounter that type of treatment.But there are a lot of 
people out there  in the old car world who have "different" opinions. I just 
ignore them and carry on until I find the right bunch. Some seem to think 
they have exclusive rights to everything!!?? I am talking about all kinds of 
car and motorcycle owners. Oh well that is their problem. All I can say is 
have a nice life. I smile and wave.
