For the unaware - several listers (Jim, Elliot, Malcolm Pearce, George and 
myself at least) met up on the UK quattro Owner's Club stand in front of 
Chatsworth House yesterday.  For those who don't know it - Chatsworth was the 
model for Pemberley in Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice' and the description in 
the book is literally.  Sadly, the BBC used Lyme Park for their version.

Anyway, the afternoon was punctuated for me by a steady stream of people being 
brought to me by area co-ordinators and others.

"This is him."
 
"Can I see?"

"Sure."  (No need to ask what.)
 
"My God - there _is_ a microfiche reader in the boot!"
 
George is off on his travels, but promised to have the picture(s) he took up on 
the web within a few weeks.

Another box, just a little larger than the first, for the fuel injection and 
electrical gear.

I succeeded.
