  Marc and everyone who have been involved with the Riley & Scott MkIII,
your work is awesome.  Went to Mosport and with only about half the
cheats up to the middle settings, I beat a time I'd set with a fully
tricked out McLaren GTR1.  I sat and watched a replay for almost 15
minutes, not to admire my artful spins and whatnot, but just to take in
the gorgeous Dyson Paintjob.  good work guys...
but like the title says...but...
  The car is too dang wide for the Mosport Pits.  I had to wait almost
5  minutes for the pits to clear enough to squeeze that monster out onto
the track.  Tried just letting the computer bull through but that just
got the Callaway in front of me pushed into the Panoz which....well, it
wasn't pretty.  
  I should be practicing my TPTCC laps at Mid Ohio, but dangit...gotta
go feel the wind bounce my helmet around some more.

Hehe - reminds me of the advert on British TV about the guy who buys
flash gear all the time - ends up getting super-wide tyres for his car
and then can't get it up his driveway!

I think it was something to do with buying Slim Panatello cigars rather
than the usual big ones, or something.

PS: He also had a chest wig, medallion etc.

PPS: The ad was on in the 70's, I think, so that shows my age...
