February 2001

We have just completed the "biggest" voting process in TE/AE history! Biggest in the sense that we were electing not only the Officers, but, for the first time, the Board of Directors. And biggest, too, in the sense that we had 210 voters. By far a record turnout! (Who says we Americans don't know how to vote.) The results of this unparalleled election are summarized in the article below.

This, as you can see, is the annual Membership Roster edition of the Rootes Review. The regular newsletter will be back next month.

This month's update on the 347-stroker motor and 5-speed project is, unfortunately, stagnant. I continue to gather parts and will be starting the actual work soon …no really, I will…I promise. The good news is that my articles have motivated some folks to successfully go on the quest for the AMC tailshaft and get their own 5-speed projects going. More next month.

My thanks and that of the Club and the candidates goes to everyone who took the time to vote. 

Think warm, think thaw, think Spring.
