Did they finance VW's rebuilding after the war, and thereby acquire control despite a minority equity interest, akin to the Ford family's control of FoMoCo? Brussels better be careful. Belgium's border with Germany is still as hard to defend as it was in 1914 and 1940. Uh, no offense meant to peace-loving Germans. What’s the deal with Lower Saxony?

Funny, literate, definately not PC (when you could still have fun in print). Was not <em>really</em> a car guy, but he was close enough. If you have access to old copies of C&Dfrom that era, do re-read his stuff. I find it much akin to watching Blazing Saddles. I shan't regurge my (slightly tongue-in-cheek) justification for Porsche's recent Geckovian excesses. Hedgies pull much larger tricks than this every day. That's how they stay in business. That's why the market is a casino for the rich. Yeah, yeah, much of what they do is illegal. Cramer wrote down major SEC violations in his last book. Anybody seen him in non-recreational handcuffs yet? BlueBrat,
