But Steve:
Is she really sitting too close to the wheel? I have heard that a racing car
driver need a good elbow angle (90) to get the agility and speed needed for a
racing car...

And, since she is not wearing a helmet, maybe she took it off and put on the
burka prior to the photo session? What do I know. A burka may even be very
comfortable under a helemt... I would *think* that even moslems have the common
sense to protect their head when racing. ;-)

And, finally, what's wrong in racing a Lincoln LS? I am positively *sure* racing
a racing specced Lincoln on the limit is huge fun, and I would do it without
even thinking about the wage. Hehehe
