Good grief! No wonder John was chasing me at high speed over the mountain
pass in Snowdonia N.P. I thought it was some road-raged deathwish type.
Instead, it was John trying to pawn his 350/2.8 off on me. His equipment
is so battered that I thought he was waving brass knuckles at me.
Glad I took that high-speed driving course several years ago....
