Marcos Maniacs

Hi Marcos Maniacs,
A couple of "house keeping" items this morning. Let me make a case for
changing the way we do something with our group.  We, as a group,we
tend to identify various Marcos cars by their present owners. If you
look at the pictures that are presently posted on this site you will
see pictures of the members cars.  You might think to yourself "Mark
has a nice car" or that is a great interior shot". However, the
pictures are of limited longterm value since they don't have the
Chassis# of the car with them.  Add the chassis # and all sorts of
neat things are possible.   
That picture of Mark's car (with the chassis#) might help with your
car restoration which is two serial #s away. Five years from now
someone might look at the picture of my car at Thunderhill and say
either "thats a nice picture of a red Marcos (no Chassis# attached) or
"My god, that's the car I just bought and at one time it was at
Thunderhill racetrack."(with chassis# attached).  While chassis #
don't mean much if you own a Mustang, they mean a lot if you own a
limited production car like the Marcos.  Knowing and keeping track of
your car's history will add to its value. From the clubs stand point,
using the chassis#s will make keeping track of the various cars easier
as they are bought and sold.  So let me encourage you to include your
chassis # on all your postings, photographs etc.
Profiles... Have you wondered why some of the members have more
information by their names on this sites membership list than you do?
 If you go to the membership list and click on your name you can add
additional information like where you live and what your name is etc.
 This makes it easier for all of us to communicate with each other.
T-shirts... last reminder to get your order in for a new t-shirt. 
Monday I will finalize the order with the silk screener.  The silk
screener indicated last week that he would probably be finished with
the shirts by the end of the month.  Hayes Harris has volunteered to
pay $5 of the purchase price for those of you who buy the t-shirt that
has the Wire Wheel Sportscars logo on the front and the Marcos design
on the back.  So for that particular shirt, the price is $13 including
packaging and postage which is a great deal.
I will be sending this same message out on the original email list
since not all the members have joined this list yet.
Best regards,
Mike Denman
