Jonas,
Thats good! So does this mean British engineering is better than french? As the owner of 2 Triumphs, I would hope so.
Thanks, Tim

British and french are tied in the engineering Dept (think triumph, and Citroen), but the worst has to be the Italians!!!!!

Ferrari, for example?

I was thinking Lambourguini, but I can't spell it! The worst thing I've found on British stuff is Lucas electrics...

Trust me on this one fellas, The italians build thier cars just like thier ladies... gorgeous looking... high mantinence.
I worked at a Maserati dealer in Wa for two years doing exactly what Dave Butler is doing with Power Wagons.
Ask any fancy italian car owner how often his car is in the shop vs. how many miles he actually drives it per year....

I never minded "high maintenance" ladies because I really enjoyed their "high performance" natures.

After many years, I have switched my interests to POWER WAGONs since they are as "high performance" as I can handle.

You were scrapping them?

Jonas Smith · 12-08-2003, 11:30 PM

I stripped apart quite a few Bi-turbos, quattroportes, and a couple of older ones that had been wrecked. There was a bin in the wearhouse for every single nut, bolt, and washer. Everything had a place in the wearhouse. Unreal. Hou would you like to buy a cam for a Maserati at $1100 a copy USED?!?! And the engine uses 4 cams!!!! Ouch, Power Wagons are much more user and bank account friendly!!!!
