Thanks John.
There's certainly some blarney in their description :)
125 mph all day sounds slightly optimistic.

John

That's a fantastic advert. So politically incorrect and, for all of us who have opened our wallets and flowed money into the restoration and repair of our Pagodas against the best advice of the Chairwoman of our household Investment Committee, wonderfully ironic.

Many thanks for posting. Reading it has brightened my afternoon.

I hope you all noticed the price back then for the car (shown in fine print under the photo). That was a pile of change back in the early 60's. "Men with money"...somethings never change, although now we should certainly add "Ladies" as well :)
