[DeTomaso] good news?

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

Undecided, I like the idea of the brand being in the news again, it has
certainly given Mini a new life,

curious how the new mini has affected the prices of classic minis as a
result, does anybody know?

But like you, I don't want BMW messing around with the old stuff and they
should leave our vendors alone,
nothing like pissing off your core of support, those whom have kept the
brand alive and desireable to buy at all,
were it not for you/us, Detomaso could have become as dead as

Marcos, Bizarinni, Iso, InterItalia, Griffith, et al.
