[urq] RE : Fantasy garage

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Good point.  I'll have to try out a friends R5turbo (I think it's a model2).
Maybe his is better sorted-out -- or maybe I won't even fit my 6'4" frame -- 
which is why a Miata didn't grace my list -- I don't fit.  Hmm. Where to
find a Miura to try on for size....
