On occasion, Cheryl and I roam through the local antique flea markets,
looking for interesting stuff. This morning I was walking past a booth
and a book with a picture of a TR3A caught my eye.
The title of the book is Varoom!, and it is a collection of short
stories, the first of which is entitled "Meet Joe Pike". In essence,
the teller of the tale must meet Joe Pike at 4 PM, because Joe thinks
that the teller ratted him out about smoking in the restroom, and got
him suspended. The story ends with the teller of the story getting
knifed by Joe at their meeting WHILE SITTING IN THE TR3!
The book is copyrighted 1973 by the Xerox Educational Publishing
company, and a stamp on the inner cover lists the school library at
Garnett KS, home of a sports car raceway in the distant past. I expect
Joe Pike drove a chopped and channeled ford or some such! :-)
