[pianotech] sf chronicle article

[William Truitt]

And what makes you think that Stimpy and I don't fit that description?!
We're just on BOTH sides of the parallel.  Ah, the stories I could tell of
my best friend and I drag racing his Hillman Minx at stop lights in the
60's, the squirrels under the hood screaming, "Whreeee, whreeee, whreeeee!"
as we wait for the light to change.  Zero to 60 in 14 hours flat!

Oh, dear - I've gone off topic haven't I?

It's Déjà Vu all over again....

Will

Bad news folks...I googled "tuner crowd"....'-[   

"Revealed to the masses through the Fast and the Furious movie franchises,
the tuner culture parallels the hot-rod/street-rod gangs who were prevalent
during the '50s."

And here I thought PTG was making some headway...
