I fear for your wellbeing good sire unless I immediatly throw a chock under your wheel to impede your unruly progress when I see you and that there KV in Chicago in August.... 
You'll be driving the Comtesse to Chicago from Great Britain at 17 mph? I salute your caution, your dedication, and your generous vacation plan and wish you all the best with your route planning. I'm going to cheat and use one of my MGs, ideally the Metro. I intend to offer KV rides to interested parties upon arrival, though. Either that or race for pink slips....
