OK, we're coming. Alex (or anyone), can you suggest a decent motel close by Gracies? We'll need to crash before heading back to The Big Smoke.

We'll probably be there before anyone else, so if you're booking what's the name? We'll hold the fort until you get there...

Oh no, not Iltis fanatics. I will have to answer for all my criticisms against these trucks.

I guess I could talk about what you have to fix on them, since I did that (again and again) for many years. I believe they will be very rare some day soon, as the parts dry up and the major assemblies give in.

Sally and I are booked in to Pari's Motel for tomorrow night. I'm hoping to get there approx 1630 and be at Gracies approx 1700. We'll see if we can set aside a table for 10 at that time, unless one of you closer makes those arrangements. In the meantime, see who else you can round up, for our last Gracies Call before the weather turns to shit!
