[DeTomaso] Awesome Nor-Cal Pantera open track deal!

[Charles Engles]

Dear Jack,


            I meant no disrespect, rather I did express amazement at the
known, but rare occurrence of mechanically interested and inclined females.
They are not common around here.  They do impress me---and amaze me.  


                            Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
