I don't have a lot more info but if you have specific questions I might have answers. It was about 2 years ago when I last talked with Rick. I saw him at Norwalk this summer but it was raining so I hid and never chatted with him.
Nocooler was at my car gathering in 2004 and talked with him too. Maybe Jeremy will chime in
I tried to e-mail Rick but it bounced. Thought he might comment on his car.
