And, to be fair, I've seen more than a few of *them* drop similar shiny unbaited hooks on the right-hand side of the pond and finish up with some fine River Itchen specimens flopping and gasping on the riverbank. The problem with arguing Brit vs. US 'classics' in this environment is that the Brits generally aren't prepared to be objective in the discussion. It's sad, but true, if you see what I mean. -- Dan Drake |

It's sad, but true, if you see what I mean. No one is *ever* objective over classics.

'Classic' and 'American' car just don't sit well together. What else would one call Packards, Pierce Arrows, Deusenbergs, Cords, Auburns, Lincolns, Marmons, and Cadillacs of the 1930's? I wouldn't put them in a less worthy category than Bentleys, Morgans, Astons, or Rollers of the same time period... -- 'dreas...tbtw#5 'They say for centuries lovely Japanese girls Victoria Taxi#15 have been trained in the art of pleasin' men.
