Yup, I have plenty of shirts and dash plaques left.  Maybe 65 or 70 of 
each.  Some sizes are limited so please let me know what you would 
like.  First come first serve based on when I get your e-mail.  I would 
really like to get rid of all of these.  I got a much better deal on 
the shirts from the shop so I lowered the prices I estimated on the 
website and increased the contribution to the Ronald McDonald House 
(RMDH).

Prices are as follows:

Shirts   			$13 each
			 or 	2 for $25.  All sizes.  $3 from each goes to RMDH  plus 
shipping.

Dash Plaques		$2.50 each		25 cents from each goes to RMDH.

We have raised nearly $300 so far.  If all of the shirts and plaques go 
it will put us over $500.  Let me know what you want.  I can take a 
personal check or PayPal from your PayPal balance. (Sorry, no credit 
cards)  Mail your checks made out to me to

I need to echo Bob's comments.  AWESOME AWESOME event.  Just as much 
fun as the first.  Caravaning out and back was great.  I really missed 
the looks and waves and smiles that you get while driving a Type 3 
while Sophy was off the road the last year and a half getting her 
facelift.  Thanks to everyone at the Invasion for all of the 
hospitality, good conversation, help with the clutch and main seal R&R 
(no leaks or clutch slipping all the way home!!!) and for all the 
compliments on Sophy.

Those that didnt make, you missed a good gathering, but start thinking 
about the Invasion in 2006.  Out west again in Oregon in July.  Plans 
are already brewing.

I will be updating the Invasion site in the next few weeks and 
hopefully my own site with Sophy's transformation from non-descript 
primer and blue daily driver to flamed, sunroofed, shiny wheeled summer 
driver.

Great seeing everyone again.  More memories that will not fade away.  
Thanks everyone.
