    John, I hope that you know that I'm a great admirer of you, and I hope that you always take my wind-ups in the spirit of a good-natured ribbing. You have become the chronicler-of-record for many of us who refuse to pay the tarif demanded for that lawn show, and my anorak side shows when you make a midnight mistake.

    No, I don't like the model that was Il Duce's car of state winning, any more than I would like a Grosser Mercedes-Benz parade car up there. I do find it ironic in today's political climate that a model preferred by the Italian fascist elite won BoS -- I'll leave it at that.

    Speaking of anoraks, was it an "Easter Egg" that you included a French-Alsatian Bugatti (Corsica coachwork?) and a very German Maybach Zeppelin V12 under the heading "English Cars"?
