Today, with great enthusiasm and quite emphatically, Alan Browne laid this on an unsuspecting readership ... I'll say it again, the guy who has the most toys when they die, wins the game. You simply must face the fact that the world is divided into two groups: those that have it and those who don't but want it. And those who have the foresight to understand that the world does not belong to any one person and their gluttonous and damaging habits. The world belongs to those with the balls to go out and take it. and kill anybody who gets in your way. -- Ray Fischer |

"All Things Mopar" wrote in message . .. Today, with great enthusiasm and quite emphatically, William Graham laid this on an unsuspecting readership ... Likely, no one will ever know the answers to these and many other questions until two things occur, which they will eventually ("what goes around, comes around") - control of Congress passes to the Blues and a Blue president is elected. One would think that by now the truly egregious violations of civil liberties by the provisions of the Patriot Act and minor revisions to the much-amended 1947 National Security Act would've been challenged in court by now, wouldn't you? Many years ago, when I was a young man, fresh out of the service, the CIA did whatever it wanted to do, and no one was the wiser...They even assassinated people like Saddam, and Osama when they could, and thereby saved us millions, perhaps billions of dollars.... Then sometime in the 70's. all this became "Politically incorrect" and a series of executive orders demanding that the CIA disclose its expenditures, (and therefore all of its clandestine operations) were written, and so today, we effectively have no decent spy network at all. Of course, our enemies don't have to be politically incorrect, so they all have excellent spy networks, but nobody seems to give a damn about that. My guess is that most of the information we get about Al Queda leaders and operations comes from the Israel spy organization, when they deem it advisable to tell us, for their own purposes, of course......The "blues" as you put it, are probably very happy about this, but it makes this, "red" want to throw up....... |

It would have to make up its losses on the few that there were.... They did run some powerful machines, like the Cad-Allards, but they didn't always show too well..... Sounds like the Sunbeams that were fitted with small Ford V8s (289?). Very fast but the engine moved the C.O.G. so far forward that they didn't handle very well. They were called the Sunbeam Tiger and used the 260ci version of the small-block Ford engine of the day. I always liked the way they looked and felt they would form the basis of a truly capable runner if set up properly. I understand there is a S. California company that does the same thing with the Miyata....... I guess I wasn't the only one who thought that -- witness the AC Cobra with the 289HP version of that engine that really sat the sportscar world on its ear. Quite a change from the old AC Bristol. Bob Yes....the Cobra was my dream car for years. It had it all. Light weight, powerful engine. Superb handling.....But like most of my dreams, they stopped making them just before I had the money to buy one........ Actually, you can get very good facsimiles of the Cobra from a number of sources. It wasn't all that complex a car. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

But, to the extent that "my reputation preceeds me," you should err on the side of STFU, if you'd like a piece of friendly advice. Says Gas Guzzler. Oy! Oxymoron: stfu as friendly advice. He is confused in more ways that one. And it won't work with Floyd, thank heaven; I tried and it didn't work, although I omitted the "tf" from the formula, and later recanted. Go get 'em, Floyd. Three out of four ornery curmudgeons agree the Mopar is toast... So he *must* be. I would consider myself to be a "car guy" and according to Georgia Tech I'm a graduate engineer, and I think he's a loon too. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
