Re: FOR SALE: 1968 AMX

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

This is terrible news (selfishly, for us listers :-) but I'm sure
you're moving ahead in your own life and it's the right thing to
do. (But won't you consider living just for us for a while longer?
:-)

Seriously -- thanks for amxfiles.com. You've not been real active
for some time but your presence is still felt around here.

I guess times change. The list seems safe enough, hopefully we can
preserve and move forward the work you've done on the website.

Thanks again!! And good luck with the car.
