DeTomaso Mailing List: September 2000, Message #222

You know I hate to admit it but I used to actually like those things (from
a distance). Of course back then I drove Triumphs and practically
everything was faster and ran better (I used to try and keep those twin
Stromberg carbs on a similar wavelength without success). So it's a matter
of perspective sometimes. At the time they were somewhat exotic with that
aluminum look. Good thing I finally drove an Italian car and figured it out!
