Raymond,
I was in the office on Saturday morning (which is located next to the
Flying J truck stop on exit 84 in Russellville). One of the guys on
the other side of the building (facing Flying J) came over and told me
there was a "TR4 like mine" over at the Flying J. It was actually the
car carrier you saw with a TR6 and the General Lee replica.
It doesn't sound like he made much progress between Friday and Saturday. :)
