Regarding the Airflow in Uruguay, I have seen it too, it is actually an
Airstream. I was down there for the first (and last) Uruguay Imperial and
Mopar (in that order) convention. Why the last-well see book below. Anyway,
the owner of the Airstream six cylinder and i had a few beers in the local
bar Emilios Tornado (like the weather thing-not the Cadillac). Anyway, let
me rephrase that -we had what the local brewers call "beer". Anyway,
fortunately I picked up the tab, and I cannot understate that!. Anyway, he
is quite un-American so my suggestion to join the IML was not warmly
received. Anyway, I told him I had an uncle in the states who was a
member-si senor!, etc. Anyway, he was so very un-American that I had to
keep buying him beers-a big kinda angry fellow, though a few of my jokes did
help. Anyway, I was able to make some headway giving him simple advice on
cleaning his battery posts with baking soda and water and he roared when I
said "and then Bob's you're uncle!" Anyway, That led to my uncle Bob humor
routine and it was downhill from there. Sadly, I saw and heard him crumble
the left front fender as he exited and I am in deep therapy over guilt. He
said it was the only Airflow in Uruguay (I wasn't about to tell him its an
Airstream) He glanced my direction right after the impact and looked very
very angry and I left the country for sunny California where the natives are
friendly and give good Imperial advice. and the golfing is good and
occasionally you run into a famous golfer with an Imperial. What I find
delightful is the fact that his name is Roberto! After the uncle Bob
routine I was not about to tell him that Bob is uh ummmm short for Robert
which is short for Roberto...
