Why no link to their site? Harry A. Miller, after all, was Preston Tucker's mentor, Harry on his deathbed was reported to advise Tucker about the engine he wanted to build by saying, "Make it big!" and several of the people who worked with Harry and Tucker at Indy later went on to work on the Tucker 48.

And, why no link to Austin/Bantam cars? Both Alex Tremulis (who was the principle designer on the Tucker 48 ) and Alexis de Sakhnoffsky (who designed the Tucker Carioca) worked for them before being hired by Tucker.

The links page hasn't been updated yet, but I'll make note of it.
