Just wanted to post that I have known Peter for over 10 years now. He is the nicest guy you could ever meet. I told him when he was next in town I wanted to take him and his wife Gayle out for a burrito. (Most people don't know it, but Peter spent a good chunk of his life growing up in Mexico). We speak Spanish to each other all the time. Anyway, he then told me he was going to take ME to lunch at Goodwood (a local BBQ joint).

Anyway, I emailed him today about the article and in typical Peter fashion, he just shrugged it off and said, "History speaks for itself." How true.

Looking back I wish I could have recorded all the things Peter has told me over the years regarding the Coupe, the Corvette, his racing, and many other things. I should write a book. What a cool guy.
