Vern:

When the pandemic hit, I looked into getting a subscription to Octane, but it's only available electronically, outside the U.K.

It's the only car magazine I read anymore.

Likewise with mine, a GMT 1 that my late wife gave me for my birthday in 1974. I now have a son in law who I can leave it to.

I remember my late wife, many years ago, practising tying surgical knots on the arm of a chesterfield.

She was an ophthalmologist and you could barely see some of the thread she worked with.

Thanks for posting, Chuck.

My late wife had a B for many years; great memories.
