IB has introduced user tagging. I wonder if it will notify us if we are tagged. So I'm going to test it out by tagging myself and some of you folks.

I received a PM. I was very excited as I thought it was to alert me that the Publisher's Clearinghouse Prize Patrol was heading my way with a "Major Award". Alas, it was only that A2 had tagged me for reasons unknown.

So Dave Nicholas is probably the fastest vintage MGA in the United Dave; and when I first met him he was living in Hawaii, now California, but racing the 76 Honey Bee on the east coast.
He grew up in Binghamton and was one of the BARC Boys. Recently he told Aashish and me that he had raced for BMW for a few years before the factory got involved and pulled the rug out from under the sponsor.
So I was at the Keene Hill Climb Reunion last week. Yesterday Dave sent an email (I was copied) indicating that his very first "race" was the Keene Hill Climb in 1963.
What a small world.
