[Healeys] The prince of darkness

[Bob Haskell]

Lucas (now Goodrich?) supplies engine control systems for some of our 
aircraft engines (Rolls-Royce).  Several years ago I gave a "warm beer" 
bumper sticker to a controls engineer, who put it up in his cubicle. 
Needless to say, a memo came out shortly thereafter about displaying any 
material that might cast a bad light on any of our suppliers.

I watched an episode of "Wheeler-Dealers" yesterday. It's a UK 
television series on Discovery's HD Theater.  They buy a classic car, 
fix it up, and sell it.  In yesterday's episode, they bought a C4 
Corvette and they had some fun bashing the American electrics (dash and 
pop-up headlights).  A different point of view ...

Cheers,
Bob
