I must say that I drove P # 3915 from Chicago to Daytona Beach, round
trip several times, and then years later out to LA. It's been run at
club events at Daytona, Sebring, Riverside, etc.,  without failure. To
date, the heads have never been off the block.
   The car never let me down except for only one time when the fuel pump
died in Chino, and then it was in front of a Pep Boys.  An hour later, I
had the car back on the road without any help.

BOTH cars has riding mechanics supplied with the cars and the Lambo still went back to the dealer on a flatbed after maybe 100 miles! Having Antonio and his tools riding with me wouldn't leave room for Judy! (Or, when it was her turn to drive, I'd be in a chase-truck) Cheers- J DEryke
