You Warren have perked my interest in the Spyder. I get the
feeling it is some exotic english sports car, like perhaps
like the Triumph? Or a special MG ...perhaps a Morgan?
That bring to memory a sad story my father told me, about his
racing Green Super-Charged Morgan which ended in the years
or somewhere between 1939 - 1945. The German Airforce in
their bombing of England, hit the garage, and the car was
destroyed. It really got him juiced up when he got the
news.
That was funy about FORD. They were really mad about Shelby
buying their cheapy mustangs, and then rebuilding them into
real muscle cars in his shop. What a thrill for them when
they brought him out, and got him to work for them, and
wowie the GT500As that were turned out were movie material.
< Wonder when a movie about Shelby will be done?>

In Toronto ... we had our crew too of people to make us laugh
but some were not actually trying, as that was their normal
habit. Some were also just too far strung and a few ended
up killing themselves. One was on the CB every day and seemed
at night too ... he'd mumble through his callsign adding
Buggie the Bear is on the air ... and in the end, because
no one talked to him he took a dive off the apartment.
Good ones and bad ones, and some made media in CANADA
for some negative reasons.
Our radio personalitys were pretty good. They had fun on
the AM and FM and in public they were the same on the
air, as in private life too. I enjoyed growing up with
them on the radio, and enjoyed having a few of them as
friends, and sadly miss those who passed away.

I was wondering how to attack the proper way to say it.
That is really interesting. I will try it on Maria
and see how she gets along with that one. We still chat
over the name of a town in central ontario. A mix
of native and french...but I think mostly native.
