18. That's a good one Valerie....remember all the Canadian flags flying in
American homes at that time?..."We will never forget you Canada", they said....The American embassy people had gone to several embassies along the way and been refused help until they came to Canada and we took them in and saved their lives...I know they would have done the same for us, but anyhow......

19. It's a wonder one or more of the now former hostages now hadn't even
thought "Damn you Amb Taylor, you owe us a pair of clean pants and underpants," for it was surprising they hadn't wet their pants from laughter at the "Ayatollah Joke" then Amb Taylor pulled at Khomeini's expense.


Wonder if "Ayatollah Assahola" was then Amb Taylor's sentiments exactly.

26. Hahaha! The Bricklin!



What a magnificent white elephant that was. Kind of like the Fast Ferries, but with a less appealing paint scheme!

28. Well, the Gull-Wing doors, for one thing, and...
Edited on Thu Dec-11-03 04:08 AM by CanuckAmok
..yes, I think it's a monocoque body. I know that your Bricklin was delevered "formed" in the colour you chose--there wasn't any paint in the proces, they formed the body in the colour you ordered.

And they all had beige leather interiors (hey, it was the 70s!).

We souldn't slag them, though, despite what the cost the people of New Brunswick. I bet there's at least one DUer with one in his/her Garage. There are suppodedly over 500 surviving Bricklins in the US.

There's also at least one in China, because the Chinese Governemt bought one or two to illegally copy and mass-produce for the Asian market.

Maybe that's what killed Chairman Mao....

on edit: I was going to fix all the typos, but fuck that.
