  • '79 Nissan 280ZX. Ideally would be one that had turbo, but would take the exact car back in a heartbeat. Was a fool to sell it when i did. The clutch release fork mount broke off the transmission, making it not worth the fix, with my at the time knowledge and budget. Of course if i would have found the right mechanic it might have been cheap. But goes back to the knowledge problem.

    Is someone fishing for security questions? Though i guess its normally first car, not favorite…

    The soviets might have killed just as many germans without lend-lease, we’ll never know, but with over 75 percent of their trucks, and something like half the fuel being delivered through lend lease, there’s no way they would have made it into Germany. The US also delivered a great deal of food aid with that.









  • I get the involvement of France there, but don’t see how either would lead to the US speaking French. I could see a Canada situation with the purchase, as there would be more French speakers. But even there, UK had no involvement with that, as it was Napoleon’s focus on Europe that led him to sell the land to the US, so he could continue his conquests. The Revolutionary War wouldn’t have led to speaking French regardless of the outcome. UK wins, we’re still speaking English. We did win, and did not lead to us speaking French.

    Aside from that, having not done a google, is that something the King actually said?
