Maybe Jez is right. If everyone is having the same problem with my posts,
I'll trash Avast.

I admit that I don't understand much about computers (Shhis - it took me
two months to convert my kids "Crow" book to Amazon Kindle.)

But on the three computers I checked, two here and one at school, the image
showed up nicely when I re-read the post - Am I the only one seeing it?

Anyway, if interested, just Google <Morgan 3 Wheeler> and you'll see lots
of pix and reviews from both US and UK pubs.

The post <http://morgan3wheeler.us/about/history> *(Not a link - Please cut
& paste) *)tells how this design went from a Seattle garage to become a
genuine Brit ikon.
