Allan,
Congrats, and you are a welcome addition to the club. In a very short time
you have
found and restored a car, and tooled and manufactured new parts. No worries
though,
your car will allow you to fix things now and again just to keep your
interest and relationship
going with the folks at GI.
And now get ready for the questions everywhere you go.
Best Regards,
Mark Richardson

Please respond to

Yesterday we had our first launching under power. I must say it went
quite well. We spent the day at Lake Casitas near Ojai ( CA) . The
grandchildren really enjoyed the idea of driving into a lake. For me it
was a terrific way to end 15 months of restoration work. However, I am
trying to find the section in the owners manual telling one what to do
when presented with a 2 foot bow wake. I did find out that it is
better to be in the back seat than in the front. I want to ramble a bit
here and thank a few of you who have helped bring me from kindergarten
to graduation. Mark Richardson took the time to tell me about the
Amphicar before I ever owned one. ( he forgot to tell me that these
cars are addictive) Amphipoda gave us our first ride. Hugh, Jeani,
Shellee, Bob and Scott at Gordon Imports have been most helpful. Ken
Roy sold me quite a few parts. Dave the Wave has given much practical
advice. Marc Schlemmer and Bill Connally have been great with my adds.
Oh yes ? Gord Souter repaired my transmission in exchange for a Big Mac
and a coke (exchange rate?). Our license plate reads WTR CAR and a
picture of the car is posted on the Club site. As soon as I sort out
the rest of my photo's I will post them. We look forward to the two
California Swim In's coming soon and to meeting more of you face to
face.
