I know this has little to do with the original message, of which I fully
agree with, but I must mention something. In the only magazine example I
didn't remove, I believe I can see Captain Ahnee! Yes, this is strange, but
I really think the owner of Cpatain Ahnee needs to see this (Mr.Jassim?).
In the middle of the picture, in the crowd, staring at the camera, is what
appears to be a Captain Ahnee look-alike. And since it's hard to make out
details, it really could be him. So, Mr.Jassim, if you are reading this, I
think you should make a short story about Captain Ahnee traveling back to
the 20th century and getting involved in this particular car race. It would
make an interesting story, to say the least.
