["James Harris" <james@xxxx>]

Are your saying Go to the show or not go?

I think it would be impratical anyway at this time as I have my A Levels -
around that weekend which is a bit of a bugger.

Im curious as to what size engine the D has, and are they all 2 seaters?

Also, is this site accurate http://www.entermyworld.com/dmc2/index.html ? Is
there a DMC2 ?

Thanks

James
