[s-cars] Re:NAC/Brits positively my last word...

[Ulrich L. McKenzie]

O.K.

Being a disenfranchised Brit, I have held my peace just about as long as I
can.  It seems to me that every culture has in it's history a car that
embodies all they hold dear.  the British just happen to be fortunate enough
to have more such automobiles than anyone else.  Well except perhaps the
French.

I can still remember ending up in the middle of an Essex country lane when
my College sweetheart took a corner with about as much urgency as one can
muster in a 2CV, and the blanket we used instead of a heater slid right out
from under me when the door flew open.

Strangely enough, I was almost tempted to buy one of the restored versions
that are now available in Canada.  Then their was my first real hot car, a
Renault Dauphine Gordini!  Strangely enough, an electric version of the
Dauphine is now available in Canada as well check them out at
http://www.feelgoodcars.com/dauphine_home.html !

Are these just strange coincidences?  The Mini, and the Bug, two other cars
I owned in my youth have also been reincarnated.  Perhaps this isn't about
old British cars at all.

Everything old is new again.  Except perhaps me.  Now what was my point?  I
don't remember, but perhaps another Balvenie will help.  Did the Scots ever
make a car?

Hic!  Excuse me, I think I'll go back to sleep now!  Rule Britannia!

Obviously, Adrian is leaving the office early trying to go back home with
his english sport car before it is dark !!!
I just realized why he is wearing super bright hawaian shirt, it is actually
a safety equipment when he is walking on the side of the road !!!!

And so, with the inevitability of rust, the discussion turns from the old
British sportscar to beer. And that's just as it should be.

Good night, folks.
