I was flicking through a reasonably recent copy of Performance Car last
night when I came across a report about the insurance on Escort Cosworths
being high ‘cos of the theft risk. The question is – Does anybody actually
know of any stolen Escort Cosworths? I know that many professional thieves
export the cars to order, but have any stolen/recovered cars been spotted in
Autotrader? I haven’t noticed any in Midlands and the South West editions..
Dan.
Could anybody let me know of the deals they got on either a 94 Integra LS or a 94 Del Sol Si. I have the dealer cost of them, but was wondering how close to this cost people routinely get when making a deal. Also, if any of these deals were made in the Chicago area the dealer name would be greatly appreciated. I don’t regularly read this group, so I would prefer responses be sent to me at: j…@ecs.comm.mot.com.
thanks,
jaym

Well, this applies to the Netherlands, but it might give you some idea.
I know the dutch equiv. to the DOT requires that the so called "running lights"
be disabled. (Those little lights on the sides that come on when you turn on
the main lights). Same goes for those obnoxious lights that shine "sideways"
when you turn on the blinker. (Mostly seen on domestic old-folks type cars)
They used to have to disable the 3rd braking light (one in the middle), but
since they’re going to/have introduced those, I’m not sure what the current
status is on that.
They also make you ad little blinker lights on the front fenders. (Saw a 94
firebird at AMS airport, with these real cheesy looking ad on lights, yuck)
That’s all I can think off right now, there may be other requirements, but
I’ve seen quite a few US production cars driving around, both from actual
dealers, which in some case have been made w/ the euro specs here in the US,
or parallel import cars.

Does anyone know the addresses of the big car manufacturers’
HQs in the US? Preferably those of the personell departments.
Thanks.

All of the criticism of Armor All for treating interior vinyl has certainly
gotten my attention. A couple of days ago, I was in an auto parts store and
noticed an interior vinyl treatment product by Armor All labelled "New". It
was in a gray bottle. The bottle stated that it was a "low glare" product
that would not produce glare off the dashboard. It also said "contains no
alcohol or solvents".
Has anyone tried this stuff?

Is there a Mazda Miata newsgroup? There was one I subscribed to
two years ago (last time I was on the net), but I’ve lost the
address and don’t know if it still exists.
I’d appreciate it if anyone that has any information about a Miata
newsgroup would pass it along to me at
