<p>I have nothing against striving for originality. But at some
point there winds up being a delineation between one hyper
original car and the next that likely goes to mind boggling
extremes. Ironically I thought about the air in the tires too. Not
only the composition of the air <u>at that time period</u> but
the added effect of the compressor oil adding hydrocarbons (anyone
care to add to that). But what was a sentence for me to describe
you have eloquently distilled it down to "Coventry." Works for me.<br>

side piece is made from Beech wood and so mahogany just will
not do at the concours judging, eh? And to top that off,
will the correct Beech wood have to be grown in the UK where
