     Hi guys,
     Despite fits of pouring rain which made travel a challenge, over 25
     teams have made their way to the south central region of France
     known as the Dordogne. Ironically our beautiful country hotel had
     been the HQ for an international Ford Model T gathering and the
     place was littered with them when the first Panteras arrived. But
     most had cleared out by the time Lori and I got here at 6:30 pm.
     Here is a line of most but not all the De Tomasos present:
     One twin turbo Mangusta in the middle, and a few Panteras and a
     Longchamp not in view. The sharp-eyed will note Jan Jorgensen's
     yellow factory Gr3 in the air at the end of the line:
     His starter took a dump, sticking on when the key was engaged. By
     happenstance Jan had loaned a spare starter to Mikael Hass last
     week, and Mikael had his fixed starter in the back of his Longchamp.
     Jan, Kristian Poulsen and others worked on the car during dinner and
     figured out that a pin had come adrift internally. A bit of
     percussive engineering sorted it out.
     Everybody is this back in the saddle and ready to roll out in the
     morning.
     Roger and Melanie Coates deserve special mention. They had a party
     to attend last night in Norfolk, England. They set off for France at
     5 am. Drove to Dover, crossed the channel and arrived at the hotel
     after 11 pm having driven 900 miles! A His Roush-engined GT5-S
     didn't skip a beat but they were clearly ready for a drink when they
     pulled up!
