  1. I agree French has the most - it also has more words of non-Latin origin than Spanish or Italian, and that may partially be why. Italian is pretty much pronounce everything. A French friend who had learned English fluently used this example to show how English has its own messes. "Ghoti" Pronounced "fish" - "gh" as in "enough", "o" as in "women", "ti" as in "imagination."
  2. All have English corruption of the French (the last T is not pronounced in French). Tahl-bo sent from near Detroit, capital of corrupted French names
  3. I remember the folding window unsnapping and banging down on my elbow. The gearshift pattern described as "choking a goose." It's actually a standard H laid sideways.
  4. I agree with not looking out of place - it was a period look. The very wide whites on postwar cars look very inappropriate.
  5. thanks - seems to have been a server transition
  6. What's going on over there - I tried to access and a new screen does not let me in.
  7. I suppose this falls under "trust", but terms of "cash" also result from a history of not paying your past invoices on time. Chasing receivables is time you'd rather spend elsewhere. Some companies actually reward their payables people for how long over terms they are. All good fun until that stop ship notice arrives. My experience is that a customer who pays late on 30 days, will still be late if you give 60, or 90 days. He either has cash flow problems or just plans to cheat as much as he can get away with.
  8. And that OEM's net 90 is often more like another week or two at least. Reputations get around - known for poor dealings with suppliers. I agree, not a model to emulate.
  9. PPG sold their glass manufacturing to Fuyao Glass.
  10. Use an appropriate balance between marketing and accuracy in car descriptions. "Restored" cars do not have later engines, custom interiors, etc. If part of a larger auction, informing when cars will be auctioned is very helpful in planning travel. Chandelier bids and plants may be legal in your state, but a big turn-off to bidders when detected.
  11. looks to be quite correct, with original interior, factory visor, correct two tone (Sardonyx /Egyptian )
  12. I understand that sometimes the original material is unobtainable, but period materials instead of shiny polyester plush from the 1980's, please. The workmanship is fine.
  13. Do the grandparents know their couch upholstery was stolen for the Hudson?
  14. That new upholstery is the best match I've seen to that used on some 22nd series juniors.
  15. Sir knight has been replaced by a wedding cake sitting on a typewriter!
  16. Interesting video. I do not see the point of "sharp"(sport) mode in driverless operation, though.
  17. That "broken trunk" on the sedan to me showed that even Pininfarina has off days
  18. You could print the master from which to make the mold perhaps, but that's just the beginning of making a gear.
