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.
