Hi all,

Celebrated my birthday (55) with a 100 mile ride with the exotic car 
folks on Saturday the 19th and then on Sunday attended the British 
Car Show in San Juan Bautista, CA.  About 180 cars and I 
garnered "Best in Class" in the "others" division.  Great weekend 
with some high speed driving, some good folks, good food, and lots 
of British cars.  A 715 mile trip.

Got to see Mike Denman's "new" TVR 2500M.  Very nice!!

Put a new set of springs on the rear before I left and what a 
difference.  No bottoming out at all!  I noticed that the old 
springs were touching the shocks on compression.  That's what is 
known as "sag".  My car sat for 17 years so I suppose they took 
a "set".  Good thing to check if you're not sure.  Even new shocks 
won't help.  With new shocks and springs all around, the car is much 
much better than when I purchased it.  The difference is quite 
noticeable.  

Got the springs from Demon Tweeks in UK.  Quick service and 
reasonable price.
