[DeTomaso] Dinner with Sigbjorn....

[Boyd Casey]

The good thing about the E-type is that having originated in the UK I
believe it can be brought back with out having to pay any duty. And there
is a really strong market in the UK and Euro Zone for jags. So he can have
an adventure and still have a probability of making some money. You could
probably do the same thing with an Austin Healy, or M.B. or a porsche.
Drive around Europe and sell it for a profit when your ready to return home.

   The good thing about the E-type is that having originated in the UK I
   believe it can be brought back with out having to pay any duty. And
   there is a really strong market in the UK and Euro Zone for jags. So he
   can have an adventure and still have a probability of making some
   money. You could probably do the same thing with an Austin Healy, or
   M.B. or a porsche. Drive around Europe and sell it for a profit when
   your ready to return home.

     Of course if I had the guts to do it, it wouldn't be an English car,
     like ordering fish and chips at McDonald's. A classic musclecar
     would be more appropriate IMHO

   It must be related to the Viking DNA . There is a poetic comparison
   between driving an "iffy" E type down the east coast and sailing west
   from
   Norway to North America in a Viking Longship!
