The other day some guys asked me if it was a Porsche! Actually, people ask
more often if it's a Porsche than if it's a Fiat. A few guess Jag-in my
dreams! I've even been asked once-and talk about delusions-Ferrari! (Well,
it is Newport Beach...) But a Viper? That's a new one! Kinda cool!
Of course, unlike Barry's lovely Spitfire, mine doesn't have any badging at
all on it. Meno male, I guess as it seems that people can't read!
