Re: [Ql-Users] Minerva Mk2

And I think there was once a picture in IQLR of Tony (as editor Bob 
Dyl

put it): Oops, Tony Firshman caught dangling his Minerva Mk2 in
public! :-
Which I think allows me to say Tony Firshman does it with his 
Minerva Mk2



And, I thought, Tony does it in 'sheds' or is that too obvious?!

Yes, very good...how many sheds does he have by now ???


Seven.

 and I think my dangling Minerva in public is a fertile 
imagination on someone's part.  I don't remember seeing that 
picture.


I did scan it and try to send it, but the list must block pictures or 
attachments.


It was in IQLR Vol 3 Issue 2 page 33, the pictures from the Miracle 
In Newport show report.


I'll send the pic privately to Tony to jog his mind!

That cannot have been me - that person has lots of *dark* hair.
When was it?

Stuart and I had our bikes (of course) and cycled all around Rhode 
Island. We did though get lifts to and from Boston with Al Boehm.


Some memories:

.  Getting chased by a waitress 50 yds down the street - Hey guys you 
forgot the tip.


.  Seeing a highly lit muffin counter in the indian restaurant.

.  Having a drink in a *very* posh bar in our jeans and T shirts at the 
yachting fraternities hangout. This was after cycling past the largest 
and grandest houses possibly on the east coast.  Think The Great Gatsby.


. Coming out of our motel and seeing a good breakfast place on the other 
side of the crossroads.  Us Brits walk towards it, and see the others 
walking the other way for their cars! We persuaded them to walk the 50 
yards!  Cars stopped in the middle of a dual carriageway to let us 
ducklings across.  Pedestrians just simply don't exist outside towns.


It was a very good show.

Tony

Umm, let's see (without going back to the attic to fetch it)...

IQLR was launched in 1991, and that was Vol 3, so assuming 1 volume=1 
year, that would be either 1993 or 1994 I guess.

Guess dangling your Minerva Mk2 in public didn't work that time then

I see what you mean, Dilwyn ... embarrassing photo history or just a 
sharp caption to an innocuous picture ... :-)
