It's on my Christmas list. Hope someone comes through...

In Mark's periodic emails, he says he's selling it to
fund other projects. Especially, since Discovery isn't
going to have any more of his shows. Not edgy or fast
paced enough, I guess.

You look at the drivel on US TV, like Overhaulin', and then
you see something like this.  Makes me wonder why people spend
so much on TV. I watch a lot of TV, probably too much. Especially,
late night when I can't sleep.

I think that he probably spent more on the car than he'll
get for selling it. But he did a nice job.

Paul.
