Glen; A few things you may want to check out.
Tim's 2nd last signing bonus was a Porche,which,he piled up a bunch of speeding tickets. On his last signing bonus(72),Imlach told him no more sports cars. He had Imlach send a P.O. to Al Soko at Gateway Licoln Mercury in Thornhil for a nice sedate family car.Imlach didn't know Gateway was the Pantera dealer.
Check around Vin THPRNM02605 There was snow on the road,not,rain..If you do a little deeper research you might find Percodans were prescribed for his jaw injury. Also check to see if he didn't go home for a short while,before heading back to Buffalo.. If you want to get into the car a little more, perhaps you can speak to John Rossiter(Rossiter Racing Engines-Superchargers?)
