Re: [Amc-list] Trophy Queen

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Keith,
Congratulations on taking home a 2nd place plaque. That would be a great
feeling to place 2nd amongst all that GM
testosterone. Normally around here a few people give the Javelin a short
glance or just plain ignore it. I think it comes from
bad memories. You've seen them, they're the memories of the GM car getting
beat by the Nash Rambler............
It's too bad the two AMC owners didn't get a chance to talk..........


I live in Worthington. Greater Minnesota as the Metro politicians like to
call us. Oh yeah you live there too don't you!
ROFL
I've visited Hutch a few times and know a couple guys up that way.

You don't happen to have a parts car 70 Javelin up there or know of any do
you??

It would be great to get together some day and compare notes.....
Maybe in Mankato at the fivezeroseven.com Spring Get Together..........
How far is it to Mankato for you. It's about 90 to 100 miles for me.
I'll keep you posted

Armand
