Message-ID: I'm confused now just who we will be visiting this weekend but we sure will have some food for conversation:-) Just a reminder, if you are within driving distance of Huntsville, AL we will be gathering in Langford's (I think) basement. Don't know if Einstein or Andretti will be there but we will be in Langford Manor leaning on a KR. Just be careful with the VS spar. Enough of the sarcasism, I'm sure flames will fly from someone. Mark posted a website showing a map to his house. If you would like to get together and talk KRs, or just airplanes, show up Saturday. We will have a great time as 99.9% of the KRNet crowd are great to hang around with. See ya there.

True, there was a time, twenty or so years ago, when the quality of British cars left much to be desired, but this has changed greatly for the better. As a KR builder living in Southampton, England, (the place where the Pilgrim Fathers sailed from in the Mayflower to settle in what is now your great nation) I see truckload after truckload of British built Minis, Jaguars and other quality built UK cars arriving at the port to be shipped out to eager US buyers. Also leaving Southampton at this present time are thousands of British serviceman and their equipment in support of you guys in the 'war on terrorism.' Us Brits can take a joke but let us stick to the purpose of the KRnet group in promoting, supporting, building and flying of KR's throughout the world.
