THE LAST DITCH

The last piece of preparation just fell into place. With the shippers pressing me, I have just received an offer of motor insurance for the good old US of A. I was beginning to doubt it could be done, but it has – with moments to spare.

Once my service team have done their stuff on Monday (new tyres, a premature service to give me the full 12,500 mile interval and headlights redirected for driving on the wrong side of the road) the shippers will collect her. I will next see her in New Jersey on 29th April, when the great adventure begins.

    Will you be back by the 1st weekend in August? Perhaps you could ask Chris Evans if you could bring Esperanza to Carfest North.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
