phil,

makes me remember the days with my 1st ur-q when i drove like you obviously do!!!

now, with a full time passenger most times, the wonderful technology at my disposal 
has an easier time.

and no, it's not because my passenger asks me to slow down, it's just that i come
over all responsible when i think of facing her parents....

sigh.

ps i'm really sorry i wasn't in england for the festival of speed.  michelle mouton would have
been worth it on her on, let alone eddie irvine lighting up the wheels of a f1 v12 ferrari....
