[DeTomaso] Interested in an ATV tour the before Reno Fun

[Ian H]

I have been thinking of attending the rally this year.  Hell, I've had my 
Pantera for 11 years now, I guess it's about time I show up at the biggest 
annual DeTomaso event!   I would definately be up for a golf outing.  Just 
make sure the course has plenty of rental clubs.  With the airlines charging 
fees for baggage now, it's no longer worth the hassle of bringing your own 
set.
