I'm sure he dies a little every time he reads the b*ll**** proffered
by the audio industry.

And he never saw St. Peter's office: the two of them always met at
live performances of the Bach Cantatas and clavicembalo recitals,
interrupted only by an occasional trip to the old Totentanzkappel
at the Marienkirche in Lubeck or the Schnitger at the Jacobikirche
in Hamburg.

As to the Altecs, he'd probably, with a little modification, find
them to be a perfect fit for his fireplace on a cold New England's
winter night. He's just that kind of guy, always looking to recycle
old **** for new purposes. After, of course, rescuing the aluminum
to recast as replacement heads for the Lancia Stratos he finally
started to rebuild. Enzo, you should have looked kinder on all your
kids! They did you proud.

I hear there's a Stratos replica out there that has very good bodywork
(no chopper glass...) and will take a Northstar V8. A far better
powerplant than the POS DOHC V8 in the 308, although I wouldn't
advocate a swap, nothing besides a Ferrari belongs in a Ferrari, but
the Columbo V12 would be a better fit--and it will! Of course the
greatest V12 is American, but it wouldn't hardly fit in any vehicle
smaller than a fire engine.

The 1710 Allison was a better designed core engine per se, the Merlins
had the two stage two speed blower which gave altitude performance. The
ultimate recip fighter engine was-no, not the RR Griffon with its
byzantine redrive and quill shafts, nor the Centaurus, now generally
replaced by 3350 Wrights-the late Allison fitted with essentially the
Merlin blower in the Twin Mustang , because RR refused Packard
continued license to build Merlins, despite-or perhaps- Packard having
substantially improved the engine.
