Jack, Jere got back home a few days ago, struggling with the truck after apparently getting a shot of bad diesel at a rest stop. He was down to 40 mph on I-40....how appropriate....keeping her chugging along. He flat-bedded the truck out the next day and had it serviced and it is now in fine running condition once again.
He was not forewarned that you would be there and he doesn't remember seeing you. The car looks pretty good but will look better when he gets the windshield on.
Now he thinks that he will sell the Palm Beach since it has even worse ergonomics for his tall body than the J2X does. The next one he will be looking for is a K series model. The guy just loves Allards.
