As reported in the local MBCA news letter, PBS will air "Gullwing at Twilight: The Bonneville Ride of John Fitch" on March 28th (check your local listing for time in your area).
Show is about Michigan MBCA member Bob Sirna's attack on Bonneville, with a 300SL driven by John Fitch.

Ah yes, Bob is an interesting guy. Has his cars in his basement living room.  Very nice guy who makes me seem quiet by comparison.
