Re: IML: We made the New York Times - no, not I

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's more to the story, and although I got a quote
or two, it was our own David Whitney that gets the
credit.  He egged me on to follow up with the author,
and apparently Ex Jr. got some of his words in
edgewise too scoring some heavy points for the "nay"
camp out there.  

I'll leave it to David to recount (a mildly
entertaining story), but I think it revolved around
umbrage about a line in the author's previous article
about the Imperial concept and a "non-existant"
following of our favorite car that got him stirred up
to the point of a kind word of correction about the
lot of us and a suggestion about a follow up story.  

Apparently there is no minority left that's safe to
pick on without some sort of wild-eyed fringe group to
counter assumptions.


Anyway, David and I turned down 20/20 but will instead
be on Oprah next Tuesday to shine a light on the
plight of orphan full-frame slag-heap, money-pit,
"collector cars" everywhere.
