woops.  i got it a bit wrong.  it was indeed the coventry as driven
(slowly :-)) by Bonnier.  appologies for insulting coventry drivers by
saying it was a ferrari.  i guess the structure of 3do objects means

in driver.ini, 	which we all know isn't a town at all!  it should be
Richmond, Surrey, England. so there!
