Justin,

You can't know how much you email means to me!
I thought about it for 24 hrs before I sent it, I was half expecting the
full wroth of the DML coming down on me. This is only the second Email I've
recieved on the jubject.
I like you, admire the man, and his car, but at the end of the day, HE was
in charge of HIS company, and ultimately, HE was responsible.

I glad you liked the mag. article. I am down to only 2 RHD cars now, both
will be flying around the Dunmurry test track, (my son driving one) in a
couple of months.

Thanks again,

Chris P

PS I've copied this to our DOC UK newsgroup ( only)
