Hello Will,
I had my pillars replaced several months ago (didn't do it myself so that's why
I didn't offer any tips during your ordeal). The steering was very stiff at
first, and required input to return to dead center, but it normalized after a
couple hundred miles.

As for myself, I'll wave to any British machine... even rubber-bumpered MG's.
Bikers wave to you out of professional courtesy for another traveler completely
exposed to the elements (wind, rain, bugs in the teeth, etc.). They are also
envious that you are not required to wear a helmet while doing this. It is
perfectly acceptable to wave back.
Happy Motoring,

P.S. I've got my rear wing screwed back in place (with deck screws). Joyce
and I haven't forgotten to look for an opening to come visit.
