Give me some time to find a December issue of Automotive Industries mag,
where they traditionally publish a huge year-end centrefold called "the
world wide car manufacturing and affiliations". You'd be surprised by
some sudden unexpected connections and affiliations. I will even give

Hope I still have it in my office. Monday....
