to drop anchor next to us!   

Christ, you better watch out for Gunk overspray!  

Kansa goes after all traces of oil, grease, and even fingerprints with
genuine Gunk Brand engine and frypan degreaser....then rinses it with
disinfectant sprayed from an insecticide tank.  With your two-stroker
nearby, he's likely to go into fibralations and start hyperventilating-- a
condition that can only be interupted with timely administration of
well-hopped ale, preferably from a tall glass (no cans or plastic, please).

>>1959/60 saab 93f sedan.
possibly the most often passed car on course!

My race buddy and mentor, Kevin Clemens, used to run one of those rattle
cans and said the true advantage is financial-- you never have to replace
brakes.

BTW, same conspirator weaseled SAAB out of a sponsorship to run a three-jug
oil burner in last year's Monte Carlo Rallye.  Factory-prepped engine seized
on the way from the dock in Liverpool to the starting line.  Replacement
engine, flown in from Trollhatten, seized too, somewhere up in the Alps.
Car is currently in Sweden with a new engine, I think, and likely to get
shipped back to the U.S.  Most memorable recollection shared:  free-wheeling
down those Alpine mountain passes with them tiny drum brakes!

Why do people drive those cars anyway when they can go British with a
Berkeley or even a 3-wheeled Bond?
