    Kinda makes the Monaco debacle with Hamiltwat look petty
    Absolutely spot on.


    With Miles to perish a short time later, it cultured the photo-op decision as a classic case of how NOT to embelish on success.

    Wonder how the PR folks at Ford reacted (notice I didn't say 'felt') later on, when an American driver (Miles) was killed in America while sorting out one of THEIR cars.

    Yeah, now how's that for a press release. Right out of sunny California.

    Edit: Ken Miles was British, not American. Sorry, I got him mixed up w/Masten Gregory.
