The Watkins' are generous hosts indeed. It's not everyone who'd take in
three wandering Triumphisti for the night, providing food, drink and
entertainment -- including a tour of a friend's race car museum (not
everyone has a Mk. 1 Chapparal in their collection).

I've been outed again . . . Bill Watkins drove the ex-Gurney, ex-Pedro
Rodriguez Genie Mk.8 to two victories at the Monterrey Historics. I, on the
other hand, used to drive it to the grocery store. The car looked much
happier in Bill's hands.
