I love the way the media has hyped this thing as though it were some sort 
of criminal conspiracy.   This was a little kit car company, plain and 
simple.   Nobody was defrauding anybody.   Think of the MILLIONS of kit cars that 
are roaming the streets in the USA--you practically can't turn around 
without seeing a Cobra replica, for instance.
