Get a hard top Aston Martin, paint it orange, paint a union jack on the top, an '01' on either door, and put in a horn that plays the Benny Hill theme, drive it around London and see whose heads explode.This message has been edited.

Name it the General Washington, emblazon it with red/white/blue with a Betsy Ross flag on the roof, with the horn playing Yankee Doodle Dandy (although I loves me that Yakkity Sax). That would hit your target audience harder. . . Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

Well, if it's gonna be orange, you might as well name it for "The Iron Duke". Now, what do Brit girls wear when they're wearing what we sometimes refer to as 'Daisy Dukes'? | |||

Looks like Major Nelson is in a GTO. Too bad they didn't have him drive a Star Chief. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

A lot of those sitcoms had some choice rides as product placement in the 60s. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

V. droll. I also read once that Nelson is the very epitome of diversity, and shows a healthy respect for the role played by handicapped service personnel. I pointed out that he was not the first handicapped sailor in history, and bearing in mind that the monopede Long John Silver was a figment of literature, his 'active' dates precede those of Nelson by around fifty years or so. I also pointed out that when Nelson went to sea, he was fully equipped with arms and eyeballs. It was his in-service activities that led to some of these items being removed. Another anecdote was the assertion that he had the response to an order commonly found among sailors, - 'aye-aye, Sir', changed whilst on ships under his command to the simple 'aye, sir' The constant reminder of his absent eyeball betting on his nerves somewhat. | |||

'The Immortal Memory'. Sir, in my previous life I have been a participant in several 'Trafalgar Night' dinners and I have read many books about the great man. While not the only great fighting sailor of the time, Cochrane, Broke, and Pellew spring to mind, he was certainly 'first among equals' as they say and contributed greatly to the tradition of the RN and to the history of the country, Europe, and effectively, the rest of the world. Things would have been very different for several countries and many, many people without him. | |||

My head would explode from the constant repetition of Yakety Sax which, by the way, is an American tune by Boots Randolph. | |||
