Mr Ulman
I own a 63 Imperial Crown Convertible, the one in the DD movie car wash
scene, not the actual one! but the same comments so far from peasants (
which one of you is Ethel Merman????) At traffic lights a woman of uncertain
age who had been blocking my road for miles in her horrible whatever
Japanese thing asked and I quote ( how many miles per gallon do you get out
of that eco unfriendly monster?) my reply-- I don't know and I'm to rich to
care. Niether statement is true but it stuffed her back in to her parralell
universe.
I live in London England.
