[Fot] Chasing Classic Cars

[Robert Deanes]

Yes, that was interesting about the TR, my wife even watched it an then
wanted to know ,jokingly, when I was going to sell, I told her just about
the time the older gentleman sold his Ferrari ! Eighty nine years old I
believe he said he was. Love to see the segment of when he sells both cars
at an auction and what he really gets. I hope that when we all get that age
that there is someone interesting in racing/running our cars....look out
flying machines !
