Automobile Magazine this month. One of the first editorials. Talks

figure out what the people who have the money (say 40-50 year olds)
wanted when they were 15 years old....what did you want when you

When is a car built in South Carolina and owned by a German company
considered British? Do we let them join our club? Seriously do we?
