And best of luck to you, Steven! In case you don't recognize his name,
he is the producer of the excellent 2 DVD set of Team Healey's Return to
Bonneville and more recently, his interview with Gerry Coker. And if you
still don't recognize him, pick up any Good Housekeeping or such
national magazine with the Cottonelle Ultra toilet paper ad and you'll
see his beautiful BN1 #598. You can draw your own conclusions about his
daughter Austen's quote: "...and every time I would return from a drive,
she said she loved the way it would make the garage smell." ;-)

-- When I was younger, I could remember anything whether it had happened
or not. But now my facilities are decaying and soon I shall be so I
cannot remember anything but the things that never happened. - Mark Twain
