Re: In Defense of the Austin Marina

[H4aardvrk@aol.com]

Fred,
     I was neither critising or praising the marina..I have driven US models
in Colorado.They have about 1/2 the useable engine power that my English TC
had.These US cars were not designed to be pushed at nearly the velocities that
my TC was.
     Given a very agressive driver,me(my other car was a 2600 Alfa Spyder),100
hp and very twisty roads, the Marina simply fell on it's face.
    This car, driven like a milk cart on the High Street, would doubtless
serve it's owner well.
                      Yours,h4(Howard)
