Re: Rock and ROLLS...

 ]If the purity of design or engineering individuality is lost in the process, then, yes, I know why he mourns. But it is better the old marques are sheltered by the corporates and their survival assured, than have them go down in a blaze of glory. They also will benefit hugely from access to modern engines like the BMW and design facilities and so on. TVR and Morgans are going strong in England, and Bristol. TVRs make very rapid and scary cars that tend to sit down a lot with electrical problems. Morgan cars don't break down much, they are making the same models for years, and ought to have it right by now anyway.  England is blessed with auto engineering expertise, there are a number of other low volume car production outfits. One of the best sports cars in the world, and I do not exaggerate, is made by one of these, the Noble M12. See http://www.noblecars.com/specif.html This is a mid engined two seater with a totally communicative and controllable chassis, and surprise! surprise!, it uses a blown Ford V6 for motive power!  There is still plenty of individuality out there, you just have to look harder. Joe

Doug would have found you these, but he didn't think of using Google.

I'm glad you found those references. I was hoping that the memory of Saab Police Cars wasn't just a product of habits from my checkered past.

My ears were ringing so I figured you guys must be talking about me.
Sorry I would have been in here earlier, but I was busy surfing Google because I love it more than anyone else. Doug
