I for one am very grateful to Eric, his constant search for perfection has given me a top class naked p.f. and many others here have benefitted from his generosity. I do not know what happened to Eric's A & B but the current model, apart from upgraditis, is at the peak of human development.
This leads me to the point of this thread:Eric by now has read that a new Mini, delveloped to enter the Monte Carlo Rallye & costing half a million Euros, is now available. When Eric sells his Ferrari I am FIRST in line.
