You are not creating a NITCH in the marketplace but a NEESH! Sheesh! <br /><br />I also was talking recently to a friend about a magazine called "haute living" and pronounced <br />"haute" as "ote" to which he looked at me like i was insane and then proceed to chastise me for my pronunciation. And he's a poet. Shameful! <br /><br />If we are going to use French words, does it not make sense to at least pronounce them correctly or in typical pigheaded American slob fashion state "that's the way WE pronounce it" simply because of how the word is spelled? blech.<br /><br />My car of choice while living in Sydney was a 1984 Peugeot sedan, refurbished and painted ruby red with the best suspension you could imagine! <br /><br />Vive le Francais and have an enchanted weekend! xLaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-12845301268685851652010-04-30T07:30:25.707-07:002010-04-30T07:30:25.707-07:00Wow.

The car was a special order by the only British Leyland dealership in Central Florida. Poor man ordered it for a birthday surprise for his wife's 40th but she delivered a surprise of her own via the club golf pro. I got the car at an amazing price cause my Dad knew the dealer.<br /><br />Moi,<br />In my early 20's I had a Miami native beau. His folks had a charming home in Bal Harbour a block off Collins. The evening stroll to study the windows at Dior, Hermes, Gucci, Ferragamo was a must. Too poor to buy anything but oh what dreams were spawned.<br /><br />And the food!

The only thing rigged about the April challenge was that TROLL DIDN'T EVEN BELONG in the coin-toss. Troll even admitted that he didn't use lobster in his dish - what's legitimate about that ? It's apparent that TrollY2K is only going to play by his own rules.<br /><br />Your choice here, but please consider BamaTrav the April Culinary Smackdown Champion who will host and judge for mid-May.Heffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396114362826135207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-86471423352170362312010-04-28T05:53:57.781-07:002010-04-28T05:53:57.781-07:00boxer: V is holding you know what aside for my dot...boxer: V is holding you know what aside for my dotage. i asked for the sealed and warehoused 6 with only 17K miles but he said NO NO NO.<br /><br />fishy: the 1987 XJ-SC V-12 convertible? not a bad ride. ;-)Chick9http://www.remarkablecars.com/main/jaguar/1987-jaguar-001.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-28173185981890592612010-04-28T04:56:40.309-07:002010-04-28T04:56:40.309-07:00Fishy: Yes!

..."elegant and piss in the gutter vulgar"<br /><br />You definitely used the best word "tools" to describe Miami! So in this scenario I agree the Porche is all muscled, pushy, showy, gutter vulgar as compared to the curving, refined elegant profile of the vintage Mercedes. <br /><br />If I were to be driving an open car in Miami it would need to be turquoise or lime with white leather interior. I too am quite partial to the vintage jaguars. But a million years ago, when I did actually drive in Miami, It was a British Leyland Spitfire . Loved that car, loathed the every 6 weeks maintenance regimen.<br /><br />Looking forward to more of the Miami report!fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-37256766084682387022010-04-27T20:23:29.325-07:002010-04-27T20:23:29.325-07:00Your very blog screams French sayings (uh, Moi) .....Your very blog screams French sayings (uh, Moi) .... interesting comments about the Porsche by Mr. Troll re A/C ...
