[Rovernet] RoveAmerica 2016 "The Tenth Anniversary"

[Dirk Burrowes]

OK, Everyone Steve Manwell and I have really put some effort into getting
off the couch and planning RoveAmerica 2016. It's happening June 2nd thru
5th and this is going to be the big one our tenth year gathering celebrating
the cars and people we love.

So as we have done this early enough for you to plan to be there this means
there are NO excuses for not coming, like my dog ate my parts manual or I
haven't finished my Concours restoration yet or crazy stuff like that.

The full details for the event can be found at Roveramerica.com or dread I
say it the RoveAmerica Facebook page. So far we have more people booked in
from the UK than we do stateside so commit first then tell your wife you
have made vacation plans.

So remain calm and rover on to RA2016
You're Co-host Dirk Burrowes

Dear Netters,
As my health fails and my family obligations increase (grandchild number
nine is on the way), I must reluctantly admit that some of my dreams will
not be finished.

Chief among them are my two P5/P5B projects.

My P5B Coupe is a very early one (November 1967) that I foolishly began
converting to LHD.  The body is very solid, having received new "A" and "D"
posts and new middle and outer sills.  This project includes many new
parts...too many to list, and parts (including the subframe) from another
P5B coupe which I parted out years ago.  The car has a clear Texas title in
my name.  I'm happy to discuss history and details.

My P5 Mk. III saloon (LHD, 4spd/OD) is a car I took in trade from Gordon
Harrower.  It needs sills, "A" and "D" posts and wings.  I have another
P5 Mk. III that has a good body but is basically stripped.  I have the title
that Gordon supplied, but it is not in his name.  If it weren't so rare (87
LHD export manual trans cars built over the two years of produciton), I
would part it out as it has the few parts (bumpers and dash pad) that the
P5B needs.

I see myself as a temporary custodian of these cars and feel it is time to
pass them on to more energetic ownership.

Roverly,
Kent Kinard
San Antonio, Texas
