four of us flathead guys showed up unannounced at his business several years ago. don wasn't there but a secretary called him and in short order he came roaring into the drive in a 12cyl. amg mercedes. he greeted us like we were old friends although none of us had ever met him. he then spent at least 2 hours showing us pretty much everything in his shop, both cars and parts. got to sit in a couple of his famous cars also. i remember three full sets of vintage kinmonts hanging on a wall! what a treat and what a great guy. rip, don.
