season's greetings

[Terence]

It's good to hear from the list. I too have retired, but following a heart
op (two valves replace/repaired, triple by-pass) bought myself a Caterham 7
Superlight R400 to use on road and track. This led to the General
Secretarysho pf the Lotus 7 Club, and more work than I care to think about.

I can indulge this hobby, though, with time to spare for my two new
grandchildren.

May you all have a ha[[y Christmas, and a prosperous New Year.

Terence
