Jim and Glen,

Please forgive me if I sounded as if I was casting aspersions on Jim's
ownership or his car. To me, it sounded a strange phrase to use. But then
that's what happens when you trust the written English language to convey
your thoughts.

Ray,

These are rare cars in the USA, and Jim has spent a lot of time and 
money preserving his Mark II that he could have spent on something more 
"trendy" on the US British car show scene. I think he appreciates the 
historical significance of the car and he's planning on bringing it 
maybe 400 miles each way to share it with us at the show in Maryland, so 
I don't think "reasonably" is meant to reflect badly on the car.
