Gary,
Those are harsh words. I don't think that he is too far removed from many
folks on this list (myself included) that have a desire to build their car
on their own. He bought a project and it snowballed. I am sure that many
on the list can relate. How many folks her have multiple roadsters? I have
3 at the house and most of 2 more elsewhere. None run - but one day a few
will.
