Hi Group, I just received this email from a new Marcos owner. I am posting the original email and my reply. indigo@... > > My name is Donny Lang, and I live in South Florida.

Hi Donny, The internet is a "God send" for owners of obscure cars like the Marcos. It makes it easy to find and communicate with the other owners even if they are scattered all over the world. We have a Marcos group site on Yahoo that you should subscribe to. It doesn't cost anything and it is the way the USA and Canadian Marcos owners are communicating. We also have an interchange list that tells where many of the Marcos parts came from originally which is handy if you are trying to buy replacement parts. You can find it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MarcosManiacs. It you have trouble joining let me know and I will get you some help (the joining process can be confusing for those of us who aren't computer experts). I have also attached a file (microsoft word) that is a handy list of parts suppliers. You should also check out Mark Saxby's web site at http://www.saxby01.freeserve.co.uk At the present time it is without question, the best Marcos web site around with lots of good information. Finally, I will post your email on the Yahoo site for the other Marcos owners to read. Mike Denman 1966 Marcos 1800 Chassis #4079
