[VintageLambo] Re: engine block number

Bill, I sure remember you, and both your cars (I saw the Espada at the Ferrari club"s Kokopelli Classic last year).In fact, I was just yesterday looking at my photos of your Jalpa I took at the Gauthier a few months ago. If you are still in the valley, contact me offline at "miura_sv" @ "yahoo.com" (no quotes, no spaces).I would love to get together to check out your Espada to compare features.You can also check out the Islero.I"d also like to see more of the Jalpa if you have it down here. That is so cool you are going to be in the Copperstate.I had thought of doing that in my Islero, but my schedule did not permit it this year.Maybe next year.I will definitely make it out for the send-off, so I"ll see you there.If for some reason you need a co- driver, I am an AZ native. :^) Look forward to hearing from you.
