| 589352 | 2007-09-09 03:41:00 | The suspension problem with the Lotus Elite (www.time.com) is from my memory somewhat exaggerated. It was one of the very few lower cost sports cars in the late 50s that offered some competition to a standard Vincent Rapide twin, but not much at all to a moderately tuned Black Shadow. |

| 589354 | 2007-09-09 04:30:00 | Having covered English and Asian I'l add American. Ford Pinto springs to mind immediately. Anyway I like English cars. Yes Lucas had a reputation, so what, its easy to fix unlike the modern electronic nightmare. American cars on the other hand are pretty good at going fast in a straight line and not much else. |

Yeah..Pintos and Mustangs were all the same under the hood..and Ford Explorers are found some mornings rolled over on their sides just parked in driveways. I actually don't like Ford products much at all..after 47 years of wrenching on them they at least made a lot of money for me..but look to see if Ford doesn't die in the next year or so..they are busted right now and can't get parts for warranties to their customers. |
