Rick -
These are the same type of people who would probably
think we are psycho for worrying about what was the
right widget-macallit for a '56 BN4 w/ Westlake Head
and Dunlop disc brakes, when you can buy a perfectly
good new Toyota Corolla with "phat" rims for the same
price. Shiny & red = best quality for 50% of the
buying public! Maybe if we get Monster Garage to have
them convert a '61 MkI into the world's fastest baby
stroller, we'd get more respect.

Alan
