Marcos Maniacs

Mike,

I think I copied that manual for you from the stack I got from Abbey 
Silverstone.  I just looked at mine and it's 26 pages also with all 
the items you describe.  Could you check??

Mark,

The Monterey Historics are 16-18 August 2002.  And the premier Pebble 
Beach Concours is the 18th of August.  Both in the same area.
