Yup - Tom's pretty much got the routine down.  That's almost 
exactly the way I revealed my acquistion of that delightful vehicle -  
I just never made any statements about ultimate ownership. 
Fortunately, when the judge two years later banged his gavel on 
the bench, I was able to keep the Miata and the Leicas.

And experience has shown, Tina,  that the trunk will hold a Domke 
Outpack with tripod, APO-Televid, Trinovids,  bird guides and hiking 
boots with room to spare
