[DMCForum] Blue's Brothers

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I care (one of my all time favorites too).

Saw that movie while student in Scotland. Small group of Americans
were howling with laughter. Poor Brits looked like deer in headlights.
Is obviously cultural divide, at least in things automotive.

Should have seen reaction in pizza parlor. Shows up un-sliced (Brits
eat with knife and fork). Of course we cut and eat with hands.
Invasion of the Huns Part II.

Don't flame me. Love British to death. My #1 vacation destination.
Drive one of their little cars (let's not fool ourselves -- DMC
American company, but product throroughly European). Tremendous Monty
Python fan. Still fantasize about that girl in Exeter. But are times I
am glad to be American.

go-cart we ever built "The Bluesmobile".
