A co-worker of mine (originally in the UK, but he eventually also moved out to the US) eventually succumbed to temptation, and bought himself an E-type convertible (early model, before headlight fairings). I did get to drive it once (although not at speed). My most lasting impression is that the (wood-finished) steering wheel was enormous - rather like driving a truck. It didn't handle like a truck, though. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
