[Tigers] Lucas website

[mmichels at socal.rr.com]

I visited the Beaulieu museum two years ago. I can definitely recommend it. It's fairly handy if you are on an excursion to the New Forest, Bath, Stonehenge areas. ALso it's the home of a well-known classic car swap meet ("jumble" in local parlance) and classic car auctions.    For reasons that are completely obscure, the Brits pronounce it "Byew-lee." Thumbing their noses at the French, no doubt.
