I don't know about Carpenter but my brother hears from Bill Henry from time to time.
Pat, how many SVO's does one man need? I have a friend who is a freelance automotive writer and I frequently do photography for him. When they first came out he had an SVO test car and we went out to Malibu early in the a.m. to shoot it. I got to flog it all morning. I thought it was a great car, really well balanced and good power. The V8 cars had lots of grunt but the big lump in the front end did in the handling. But c'mon, nine? Jeez, and people think I'm strange.
Cheers,
