Dr. Bob lost a drain plug, but that was the day after driving Route 7. But nothing compares to John Ulrich's axle problem on his MGB-GT. The males in this club who have seen John's car will readly admit among themselves that if this car could cook, we would have married it. So it is quite a shock to hear that the Ford differential expired. On the plus side though, I hear that Little John Rued and Jerry & Nancy Needham are enroled in a Body Shop class down at the college. Jerry has already schmoussed up to the teach and got a whole bunch of "tricks-of-the-trade". Some are pretty neat, be sure to ask him. Well, I could go on and on but I suppose it would look better if I was doing something other than British car stuff when Sue gets home from work. See you all at the events. Remember Halloween is only two months away. Get your costumes out. And give Jerry Needham a call about putting your car in the SAC Muesum. (I know they changed the name, but it's still SAC.)
In closing: Neurotics build air castles. Psychotics live in them. Psychologists collect the rent. So why is Dr. Bob grinning?
All In A Days Work
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about six years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?"

Believe It
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers, and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"
COOL CARS AND HOT MUSIC
by John Ulrich
Several months ago some of the members of Flatwater and Her Majesty's were made an offer they couldn't refuse. Every year the Lincoln Municipal Band gives a nine concert summer season in the park, the last concert of the year titled "Cool Cars and Hot Music." Local car clubs have provided the cars on the park grounds before and after the concert. Past clubs have included Corvettes, Mustangs, street rods, old iron, and muscle cars, to name a few. When we were asked if we would show British cars this year the answer was, of course, YES! There was, however, a catch. We needed 20 cars representing MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, and anything else we could find, but with no duplications. Many phone calls and e-mails later, we had our entry list. On Sunday, August 26, we as
