    If Jerry Palmer had of been the successor to Chuck Jordan who would his #2 have been? If "they" had of required it be Wayne, who would have been the real #2?

    Good question. Many possibilities no real answers. Although I find it difficult to believe they would have made Wayne #2. Probably would have left him to run all the International Studios, Vauxhall, Opel, South America, Korea, etc.

    Letting Wayne do the Internationals (from a Euro location) would have kept the Tech Center politics in a far better situation.

    Indeed.
    Lord knows there was plenty of that to go around without pumping it up 100 fold. Those were difficult times to say the least.

    Seems counterintuitive that your typical everyday over-steroided hyper-paid tight end/glitter-rapper would answer ".....YO! Thas right roller dudes, no mo opewlantz man! We don' w' that ****.....gives us low-key, tasteful, elegance.....ya know brah?
    But then again, I'm not in their target demo, so........:cool:

    What's with the trend recently of putting "racing" numbers on really high end sports machines; Jag F-type, Bentley, and now Ferrari Omologata, and Touring Aero 3??
    Have we really reached the point where the people who can afford these cars need to garner even more attention for themselves? Second childhood?

    Of course, the Touring Aero does look like a potential new Hot Wheels model...

    Speaking of interesting French cars, I was able to locate a 1/43 die cast model of a 1936 Peugeot 402 Andreau for my village and railroad empire having a concentration on the Art Deco era.

    Interesting. He notes that same thing Chris Bangle talked about with the lines of the A-, B-, and C-pillars all converging on one point above the car.

    All the best,

    Meanwhile, over at the Sketch Monkey, he decided to make a mini-cooper supercar (mid-engine). As his video explains, he started off with another variant.



    He is a comparison:

    Not sure Chip has a grasp on the size difference between the original Mini and the M3...
