I tell them it is a "1969 DeTomaso Mangusta" pause.... "Huh???" I continue... "a DeTomaso Mangusta".... "an Italian designed/built body with an American Ford V8, and a German transaxle" I stop there with the Heinz 57 list of ingredients....worse than a Pantera..... Usually gives them enough to chew on for a while!!! Ciao! Steve
