Wow! That is so cool!
When Burt was writing the first book he â??borrowedâ?? a ride in Bill Colomâ??s
nicely restored â??62 TR4. The car had been bought new and converted to a race
car right out of the showroom. I wonder if he borrowed the car knowing what he
was going to write, or if the car helped inspire the story.
