betwixt the concrete parking burms, I ummm.... well...

John, scincere thanks for your vote of confidence about the tone of my
message,
but (good heavens) I just had to respond to your comment about the preference
of mechanical stories over driving stories.
You mean to say <gulp> you don't get a *kick* out of hearing hero driving
stories?
I think, given the nature of this list, you gotta assume equal time for hero
mechanical stories and hero driving stories. If you don't like the idea of
this, I think we may need to educate you. I prescribe a trip around your
local slalom course, riding shotgun, with your local hot-shot slalom driver
piloting. Goofy ear-to-ear grin guaranteed, or your money back.
;-)
Regards,
Erik
