[DML] Re: JZD and the Cocaine Sting

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think anyone's life was in jeopardy. I think that was a lie JZD made up after the arrest.

How would I have done things differently? Off the top of my head:
1) I would not have ignored my top engineers in favor of Lotus' inexperienced (from a mass production perspective) ones
2) I would have produced a car salable in larger numbers, especially to the British government for its own use
3) I would not have squandered scarce capital on projects that had nothing to do with the task at hand, and which couldn't be built in the Dunmurry factory anyway
4) I would have flown across the Atlantic at subsonic speeds
5) I would have stayed overnight in Belfast more than once
6) I would not have siphoned off millions of dollars for my own personal use in secret swiss bank accounts
7) I would not have screwed a couple dozen Americans before screwing the entire British citizenry 
8) I would have told Roy Nesseth to go away
9) I would have put my American office in California
10) I would have reduced production if sales slowed
