Yes George, I am in agreement. Alex and his entire family (whom I have had the pleasure of meeting) are lovely people and I would without question place trust in. My visit to France to pick up my Herse was quite memorable. Unfortunately, his late father Neville is no longer with us and missed. Now if I can only convince him to get his butt on a plane and attend CR Weekend. The March family has wonderful stories to share and hopefully we can find a way to get this done.
