All the more reason they should allow Drew/POCA to preserve what could be
exciting footage; or at least interesting to us die-hards.
Just MO.

------------------------
I think the status of the whole revived deTomaso thing is basically DOA.
I personally spoke with Steve Wilkinson shortly before Christmas. He told me the
new venture failed to receive the expected
support from the Italian government to reopen the closed Fiat factory.
We all know, or should know, by now that Italian automakers are a very
interesting group and have
business models that are not quite what we are used to seeing here in the USA.
Sooo, while nothing is over until the Fat Lady sings, perhaps we should resign
ourselves, for at least the foreseeable future,
to remaining owners of red-haired step-child exotic cars from a once-great but
now nearly forgotten Italian marque.
