Edith got a photo ticket from Florida. The photo showed her sitting in the back seat. Because it was a rental car they doubled the fine.

and Rick was helping a friend, Me, at the time of the expensive violation.  I was stuck in the RM having made it most of the way from Rob's near Houston TX to Rick;s, my final destination when we lost all spark,  So good guy that he is, Riki rented a trailer and drove an hour or more south to fetch me from the state of powerlessness that I found myself in,  And even after the speeding in a construction zone he was still upbeat we he arrived to rescue he was  still upbeat.  RiKI is a good and GEREROUS MAN   ALL I CAN DO IS SAY THANKS AGAIN to all who helped get the car  from one place to another.

On another subject I like to offer to show RM  at amelia Islaind in March, I would ask for help from anyone plann ing to attend to help me get the RM detailed and try to auction it for $20-25,000
The event is in March 2015

Two questions, and you guys can do whatever you want to with the RM with my blessing:

1) Do we really want to auction the car?

2) When determining what it is worth, shouldn't it be compared to other IRS cars rather than to the average conversion? There are a number of those out there. Granted you rarely see one for sale (almost never?) and doesn't that by itself tell us something? What is the average selling price for an IRS MGB-GT conversion? (Disregarding the 455 big block)

I realize that lots of you guys feel like I over-value the car because of the amount of work I put into it. I assure you that is not the case because if it was I'd want the car to sell in the $75-$100K range and it just isn't that good. I just would hate to see the organization get less for it than they deserve, and see no very good reason to get in too big of a hurry about selling it. But as a point of fact it would not effect me whether it sold for a penny or a million.

Other considerations:
Obviously I would prefer to see a private sale where the car is actually seen from time to time rather than just sitting in a garage somewhere, or taken out and beat to crap by some kid. Or get shipped to the middle east.

The provenance of the car has value. How much that is worth in dollars is hard to say, but I'd just hate for us to never see it again once it is gone.
