[Fot] FW: Bugatti Veyron Roadster

[Bill Babcock]

Diane recently bought a used Bentley Continental Flying Spur (or  
maybe that was pre-owned). It clearly demonstrates that Volkswagen is  
into making statements. 195 MPH with a four door sedan. It is a  
wonderful car, she'll probably own it the rest of her life.

Did anybody read that great article recently about Phil Hill and the  
car his aunt had when he was a kid. He restored it and won at Pebble  
with it ages ago. I hear that Phil isn't doing so well. great guys  
like that you just want them to be around forever.
