The press release put out by Craig C (Editor of Retro Cars mag) is getting a lot of interest. We are going to be joined by several members of the Press, some of whom were present at the original launch. There are likely to be requests for rides around the route of anyone is willing to takes a passenger along.

I will have room for a navigator as well.
