I highly approve. I was thinking since he has so much time, he should start digging a tunnel out of his basement then lay some track so he can run his car outside to the lawn. He could charge visitors a fee to climb aboard. Nicholas Geti. - Original Message - From: Stephen Russell

Hey, it's wonderful !! What is amazing is that he built the car ! here in France, it's 'easy' to buy an old one. The most complicated is to carry it to your home and to have enough room for it (it's 24m long in Europe). I haven't understood all what he said but near the end he said you must
