Beautiful? --- You're kidding surely ---- what a mess this looks! Such a waste Clive

Well guys, you made quite a negative outcry about this car. I suppose many of you also were disturbed when Mr. Arnholt rebodied MGs. And how do you feel about Devins and Elvas? While you may not wish to refer to it as an MG, as far as I'm concerned, this car is both interesting and beautiful. I only hope the workmanship is a nice as the photos portray. Thanks Al. I appreciate you sending the pictures, although I'm only one out of 454 members of this group. Doug Pulver TC 5850

Murray, Murray, Murray, Remember, I come from the US where some of us think the 1959 Cadillac is beautiful. And what about the Batmobile? Maybe I should change the word from "beautiful" to "cool". Is that more generic and less likely to cause hysteria amongst the faithful? Doug Pulver TC 5850

G'day Doug. Perhaps we shouldn't be 'Voison' our opinions on that MGA thing! I noticed a bit of leg-pulling by you lot on the 'Britishness' of Mr.Farthing a little while back. Perhaps its now the rest of the world's turn to laugh at the American-ness of this mechanical abortion. Jeff TA2828

Hmmmmmmmmm. I HAVE seen some things like this in the parking lots while driving by a tractor pull... I don't think it would work as a merkin, though. Too uncomfortable, and scary looking. Might defeat the purpose. Laugh away, guys! That's the point of humor! Best Regards, Ray "Remember- It's the collision with the planet that counts!"

I thought the turbine powered late model Batmobile would have been fun. But I would rather a XJ220..... Best Regards, Ray "Remember- It's the collision with the planet that counts!"
