One of my favorite famous quotes is "Let him who is without fault cast the first stone and plop it into the mud to splash Nick."

Otherwise, I'm not connected to the museum other than going there once in a while since it's only 20 mins from home, and I really really enjoy the place as well as their entire approach to cars and the interested public; and they have "demo days" when the roll out one or a few of the cars and blast around in them; schedule for demo days is on their site. I was there a few months ago and looking through a glass window near the entrance into the area where restoration work was being done on a few cars and one of the guys comes out and asks me if I want to come in and get a closer look. Later that same day when I came out there was one of the most awesome "barn finds" I can imagine sitting outside being examined by some of the house experts, very interesting just to hear what they were talking about, this car was not even there when I went it. And they let the few of us "public" guys who were still there touch it and smell it! It was recently found in a barn in Connecticut, an all original never restored 1931 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A faux cabriolet; here's a pic of it:

Bill,
That's some great commentary about Dr. Simeone and his museum...so very true from everything I've seen and heard. Thanks.

Well HR Nick, thanks for 2 things. first for putting up with my silliness and keeping a sense of humor!

And second for sharing the info on such a cool museum! I can honestly say I'd like to go there some weekend!
