     Once when driving my Sunbeam (Alpine Series II), in North
     Florida, I had a gas station attendant crawl under the
     back to see if it was "one of them VW kit cars" by
     looking for the motor.

     Once when driving the Bugeye at Graffiti Night in
     Modesto Ca., I had a young boy ask me if that was "one
     of those furrin cars with the big ummerrican V8 ?" My
     friend & I got a good laugh out of that one, cause
     Redcar was running at the time, & although it sounds
     good, it sounds *nothing* like a V8. But I did tell the
     boy that yes, in fact it was such a car.

          cheers-
