Paul . . .
I just got the Mantis out of winter storage this afternoon. It fired up and ran beautifully! I guess it's the 80 degree weather we're having today.
I'll look for you at Ancaster on Sunday. That is, provided that the snow predicted for the next day or so is gone before then!

Regards . . . Ron McLeod

Hi Dave,

You mentioned that you were going to the Ancaster British car show, which is
this Sunday, and I thought I'd let you know that I'll be there from around
9:30am to 11-ish. It's Easter Sunday and my wife's family always make a big
thing about getting together so I gotta be there too. Hope to see you on
Sunday.

Regards,

daughter did , so I will post some decent pics soon.
