Need $300K ?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. A Santa Barbara man is offering a 300-thousand dollar reward for anyone who can find a very rare car and help him buy it.

Charles Crail says the finders fee could help him with an unsolved mystery involving the unique 1930 Daimler-Mercedes low chassis touring car. Crail says he believes only two were made. One of the cars was uncovered and purchased last year.

According to Crail's Web site, the car was developed by racing car specialists Thomson and Tailor Limited, under the supervision of their chief engineer Reid Railton. The chassis was so low the tops of the flowing front mud-guards were level with the top of the radiator.

The exotic car dealer believes the vehicle may be in storage, but so far no clues to its whereabouts have surfaced.

How would one go about locating this car? I bet all the normal channels have been investigated already.

and now for something completely different . . .

Is anyone participating in the "treasure hunt" sponsored by the www.moretosee.com commercials for the Sharp Aquos LCD TV?
