Re: [doc] RE: Eurofest 2002 / Test Track

[Mike Sumner <mike16uk2000@xxxx>]

I agree entirely! I think one every 4 years is far
too infreequent. An annual event, even if only a
small one, would be a great idea.
As regards to the test track, I think it should be
awarded a preservation order (like Paul McCartney's
house), since it's a spot of enormous interest, and
ever growing.
BTW It should "only" be a couple of years now until I
can afford to buy my very own "silver beasty" (unless
the unlikely event of me being awarded a pay rise
occurs).

Regards,

Mike.
