I saw a 86' 360glt for $1400 and thought anyone who can makes jet engines and trucks should be able to make a bloody car.

I did not know about Volvo Aero before this, I knew Saab had aircraft manufacturing as also Subaru, but now I know that Volvo is involved too.

But of course there were Messerschmidts too, quite many car maker seem to have some airplane related business.

You could get used Bentley Arnage R for price of new stupid looking car, why anyone is buying new stupid looking car is truly a mystery to me. Oh yes, spare parts do cost a 'bit' for Bentley, probably more for RollsRoyce, I wonder has anyone asked a insurance quote for one, 360 suddenly does not sound so bad to insure?

I've found my 360 very cheap to insure. BMW started in aero too. Shame rolls royces jet engines is a different company to cars
