    I have owned this Etype since 1988. I began the renovation in 1989 and just finished it this summer. A long haul but a lot of fun.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
