Just checked my carry kit and I think that's about it. That kit has seen
me through an Austin A55 Cambridge and three B-GTs. It has also done two
trips to Europe, when I picked up two Canadian-spec B-GTs, drove them
around Europe, then shipped them back here. Fantastic way to go, except
in '71 when I was trying to pass a Mercedes on an Autobahn in Bavaria:
from an initial speed of around 70 mph, we reached about 100 mph before
he would let me pass! (The Cdn-spec B didn't get there too quickly,
either.)
