[Staowners] 2007 Alpine Tour (was Lang mae yer lumb reek)

[Bob Hamilton]

Hi George,

Thanks you for the interesting information which all of us should be aware of.

I must congratulate you, John Badger and others 
on the excellent coverage on Alpine Tour 2007 in 
the recent issue of Stardust. It really looked 
like it was a memorable trip with good company in 
absolutely breathtaking country and in beautiful 
cars. Sorry to hear of your Alpine problems  but 
it obviously didn't hinder you too much but 
curious as to what the problem really was. Fuel 
starvation as suggested? Very enjoyable reading. 
Might have to start saving the $$$ (or € ) for 
the next S.T.A.R. planned 2009 venture in Europe.

Thanks,
Bob
