Impcop/other topics

[bandmgrinding@xxxxxxxx]

Hi Guys
    To the Impcop, don't you think you came down a little hard on Roy for
mentioning that " the other car" had the same problem. He was probably
just using that example because that is what he is most familiar with. I
think that by losing him as part of the group we will be losing someone
with a lot of mechanical experience and knowledge that could benefit a
lot of us in the group. While I am not advocating bringing up or talking
about other subjects or cars, I think that we could all learn from
comparisons and experience with other cars. Also, it might be a great way
to come up with some interchanges and modifications to parts that will
then fir our Imperials. Also, I for one find it interesting to see what
other Imperial owners have driven and are driving or working on and I
agree that any discussion of same should be taken private or to another
group that would be better served by the information but if we are not
allowed to even compare or mention another car name or make , items like
the production figures of other cars, or even our sign offs should not
include anything else but our Imperial only. This would seem a little
silly to me but I am willing to abide by the rules .
 
  Thanks for the time to speak my peace.
