I say "It's an international car-- it was made in Italy using a German ZF transaxle and American Ford Engine"

Subject: [DeTomaso] What Do You Tell People??
This is related to some recent discussion on another exotic car forum.
The topic was the history,heritage, and perception of Detomaso cars.
One interesting subject brought up was the level of knowledge of Detomaso owners
and how/if any of that was being shared with spectators or onlookers.
Case in point...I pulled into a local weekend Cars and Coffee. As some people
looked at the car, one commented with something to the effect of ..."cool, it's
an American Countach..."
It just so happened that I had known this person for many years and because of
that I gave him a 30 minute lecture.
Although I am *FAR* from an expert on any car history, I took the opportunity to
explain the background of the company and the car.
This conversation triggered more discussion with other people in the crowd who
had no idea and thought it was something it clearly wasn't.
I've also recently met Detomaso owners who do not know much about their car.
Everyone enjoys their car in different ways. Maybe some don't really care what
it is or who made it.
I accept that. My dad had a car that he drove three times in 15 yrs yet told me
he enjoyed just looking at it.
Out of pure curiosity...when someone walks up and looks at your Pantera with a
comment similar to "cool, it's an American Countach..."
What do you respond with?

I found all the Hunters episodes are on Hulu.com. There are seven seasons of
episodes, so it's a matter of finding the right one. I took an educated guess
and am watching episode 7 from season 2 based on the IMCD database showing
episode 2.07. It's a two part episode and I'm halfway through the first one.
Nothing yet.
If anyone can zero in on the correct episode, the whole clip can be seen.
