    Note the reference to Nicole Brown Simpson's white Mondial. I doubt it was one of only two white Mondials as suggested.(that's Wikipedia for you) Does anyone know the year of her Mondial?

    Anybody can say anything they want and post it on wiki. I have seen some of the most absurd things on subjects that I am (was) a professional "expert" on. I don't trust ONE SINGLE WORD I read on wiki because I assume that since I KNOW certain material is incorrect and largely self-serving or people doing the "I want to be 'published' " thing, I can't be sure if what I'm reading is true.

    It's sad and, essentially useless for that reason. Sure, I can point to articles that are excellent but since I can also point to those that are factually in error, I have to assume that if I read an article on a subject that I know nothing about, it has a pretty good chance of being wrong.

    Mike, you sound like my Masters' professors. Every term they get all mad about people using Wikipedia as sources. I still use it but cite the stuff at the bottom rather than Wikipedia itself to avoid the wrath. I'm sure you're right, that some stuff is wrong, but it sure is easy to get information there.

    I thought her white Mondial cabriolet (Nicole had a Mondi OJ had a Testa) to be a "t" so that would place the model year from 1989-1993.

    Funny, I looked at a white on white Mondial QV cabriolet before buying my 3.2. I think it was an '85, and was located near Bellingham, Wa. I really, really doubt only two were made in that combination. Maybe I missed a great deal....

    Wiki may be 95% accurate, but if you use Wiki to settle a bet, that last 5% can hurt you.

    Or you can edit Wiki yourself and win your bet!!

    I don't remember the model of F-car she had, but saw a picture of it on a flatbed shortly after her murder; the license plate is what I never forgot: 2L84AD8 - "to late for a date"...
