All this chatter of "finest" and "best" this or that, garaging of woodies, bad Chevys and good Chryslers, brings some of my thoughts up.

First, my woody stays in the garage these days more than it used to. Romance is a casulty of a busy life.

I don't like Chrysler products, never did, even when working on Hemi D6 heads for Pro-stockers and especially when working on fueler Hemi heads.

I like most of the vintage American big name guns, but recognize that all have their pluses and minuses, a Fox is no different on this. Still, I wouldn't want to be deprived of owning any of them. Being examples of our American history, I appreciate all of them and worship none.

European (that includes the UK last time I checked) guns can often be found of better design and/or manufacture than American guns. I appreciate good design and manufacture as much or more than the average guy. Nevertheless, I don't find myself as interested in them as American guns. Guess I'm just a knothead patriot. No arguement there.
