I would dearly love to know what the H**L good cars like these do sitting
in someone's garage undriven? I don't know that many museums that would
want to have very large paper weights... :-). There is LITTLE in this
world more fun than driving a nice car (like an E-Type). It pains me
to think of all those undriven cars just sitting there gathering dust.
They should be going flat-out through the country-side 8-) or be donated
to us. ("Hmmm...letmesee, I'll take the Claret one in the corner over
there...")
