Many years ago at the Lansdowne stock car track in Ottawa, a young guy brought his fathers RR to the track and a bunch of us convinced him to use it as the pace car for the start of the feature race. Well it seems it was a non-no as far as RR was concerned and the Senior humun being for RR Canada came to Ottawa and bought the car from the father for more than he paid for it! Just to keep it out of the hands of these ner do wells who dared drive their masterpiece in the company of a bunch of jalopy stock cars, :) Maybe we could do something like that with Leica. Use the camera for awhile and then mark-up the red dot and they'd buy it back for more! :) You do't think so eh? :) It wont work? How about we have the Leica mating in the camera bag with a Nikon or Canon and the red dot comes out in different colours? That wont work either? Well I guess we'll have to live with it! :) ted
