Re: [DeTomaso] Some guy thought my car was a  .......The Nobel (M400) is a
well shaped car, truly beautiful lines.
 Although the rear spoiler stands out like a wart (to my eye).

Maybe if I owned one, it would grow on me.  (Pun intended.)

  Not a Pantera mis-identification but an interesting one.  A few weeks ago
at Road America some guy thought my Noble was a Karmann Ghia.  I have had
all kinds of guesses from Ferrari to Lotus to Porsche and others but a VW
was really a good one.  I actually used to own a Karmann Ghia and it is
clearly not similar.

  Here's my car for reference if you don't know what a Noble is.  I consider
it a cousin of the Pantera since it is a mid engine Ford powered car.

  Gassing up before departure a mechanic told another that my car was a
"kit" on a Fiero chassis.
  And that it had a V6.  When I told him it was a real car, he then told his
"crew" that it was a real Ferrari.

  I said NO, it is a REAL car.  I don't think he understood the joke.

  Anyway, for those that took photos of the Concourso, my car had the
DeTomaso umbrella along side.
  If anyone took good photos let me know.  My main computer motherboard took
a dump, and until I
  build the replacement I have limited access to my digital photos.  I am
currently denied access from loading
  my new website due to this.
