Jeez, I join those who've already expressed that the faux race coverage

OK. You may be a Southern Sunbeam owner if:
-- you've ever painted white stars in the diagonals of a Union Jack.
-- "No, officer, the distillation equipment is for an alcohol-powered
Alpine I'm building."
-- you have a Commer 4X4 with a gun rack
-- you have a Rootes vehicle painted to match your favorite NASCAR
driver's paint sheme
