Mercuty Marine connection.
Anybody know some of the folks at Mercury Marine that worked on the Z program?At some point Id like to have them sign my book,these guys were just as much responsible as those with G.M.also Tony Rudd and some of the folks at Lotus if they wouldnt mind.Anybody got a connection to any of these people?

Re: Mercuty Marine connection.
I believe Graham Behan and Geoff Jeal worked for Lotus, not Mercruiser? And of course Dave McLellan worked for GM.
 Would still be cool to get their signatures though!

Re: Mercuty Marine connection.
You sure about Leno? He owns a ZR1, but I don't believe he owned a ZR-1.

Re: Mercuty Marine connection.
Not to forget Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
And Dave Thomas (Wendy's) had one in the past. Ricky, where is Ted's ranch?
