Thanks for your note about the Studebakers your company has restored. They look great. Has your company considered getting into the antique lens replacement business?

Yeh! Best thing that ever left the ground. We never had an equivalent. Shame that only 2 ever flew... btw, search XH558 on Youtube for footage of our newly restored Vulcan Bomber making her first post-resto test flight. Awesome.

Slowly, but surely, Audi is making the TT look less like a squashed New Beetle.

Okay, cheesy commercial, but Tercels were a pretty intelligent choice at the time.
And Murilee, the clear advantage of the longitudinal engine is that it put the starter in a nearly inaccessible location facing the firewall.
But I don't care; 1Gen Tercels will always and forever be subarashii [great, wonderful] in my book.
