In my travels thought Europe, if I remember correctly and vehicle with more the
3 liter engine very heavy yearly road taxes are levied and the car insurance is
much more expensive. However, as we are a free country everyone has the right
to own 8 cylinder turbochaged truckes and SUV's to go to Church and the grocery
store.

Jean,
So you don't think all those large pickups and SUVs are hauling vintage
car parts?
Me neither.
Are you taking any pictures and/or video at Le Mans?
