Shane! Say it isn't so! You must have suffered a little bit from your
experience in Siberia, but wait until everything thaws out before
you decide to do it! 

As the Patron Saint of Panteras (how many people, including myself,
have bought Panteras thanks to your web page, and there
are now HOW MANY PEOPLE subscribed to the list that YOU
started), it is hard to believe that you would consider selling your
car! Like Carroll Shelby deciding that he had other cars to drive
besides a Cobra. Like Eric Clapton deciding that he was going to 
give up guitars and play a tuba. Like the Pope giving up Catholicism
and converting to Buddhism (with all respects to any Buddhists on the
list, I don't know if that is the proper spelling for you guys). Anyway, 
you get the point.

If you really have to sell, then I am sorry to hear that. I am glad to hear you
are staying with the group. But I hope you reconsider your decision. 
I love Triumphs, and I don't know what else you are restoring, but I
would be hard pressed to imagine having to decide what to eliminate
from my garage and choosing the Pantera.... Couldn't you sell a lawnmower
or a couple rakes or something and get a little more room?

All,

It is with regret that I am putting the Kitty up for sale.
Too many other restoration projects, insufficient garage space,
and not enough time to spend driving the car.  These cars should
be driven regularly, not allowed to sit, covered, in a garage.

This car is ex-Alan Foster, and I have used it for commuting, 
posing, fun, and as a novice Pantera owner, on the track at 
Carlsbad, Holtville, Spring Mtn (Vegas) and Laguna Seca.  
The car is regularly at SDP Fun Runs, dyno days and a Vegas 
regular.  So the car is well-documented and known.  Call
anyone in SDP for references.

For more information, see my web page at:

$25K.  619/454-4656.  Sigh.

And dont worry, I'm NOT leaving POCA/SDP or the POCA community.  
I've made too many close friends here.  And, after all, isnt 
friendship what its all about?

	Shane
