Al,
Carefull Al; methinks Bo is a bit too sensitive to appreciate the humor of
"experts" regarding his newest labor of love. But wouldn't it be great to
celebrate both British Car Week and the 100th anniversary of Sunbeam by
driving the Miles car over the same 5000 miles, including the "high speed
runs along the West Coast" and "two days' driving up and down the hills of
San Francisco", it was test driven back in '63? Maybe even get a contest
going for spotting the famous Miles prototype on the highway. Hey, this
could become a real media event!
Sorry I missed the Cheadle BBQ in San Diego,
Bob
