And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Speaking of Italian aluminum, there was a piece in Road & Track back in (probably) the 60's. A guy bought a Ferrari ( I forget which) in New York. He told of his drive back home to New Jersey. He kept having flats because of aluminum trash in the Borrani wire wheels. He commented on the aluminum body: "When a fly lands on the car, you die twice; once when it lands and second when you search for the dent."
Beautiful but I would hate to have to back it up into a tight spot. Especially since only 5 were ever built. https://www.zagato.it/en/atelier/contemporary/mostro-powered-by-maserati/ Al_in_Ottawa

ReplyDeleteThis is what you get when you teach a bunch of crazy Italians how to hammer out an aluminum body. Beautiful.
