Don't read this, Paul.

As if it wasn't enough that he should have about twice the points of his immediate follower, that he should solve the toughest puzzles.... No, we may do whatever we can, but when it comes to find the most rare and beautiful streamliners, or the strangest oddball cars, PJ is the master.
