Has anyone else read this? I would be interested to hear comments (surprised no-one else has posted about it yet) as there was a few bits I didn't think were correct, plus it did read like a bit of a big advert for David Gerald, nice to see a little bit on the Tina though.
Any thoughts?

I thought it was a pretty good article, factually correct, and without regurgitating the usual errors about the Trident saga. Which parts did you think were not right ?

Quite so Neil. I didn't pick up any errors either.
Perhaps it's because it was correct and didn't include the usual myths that people think it's not right...

I couldn't find any errors either, though everything I know about the Tridents has come from other articles which this one may have been based on anyway! But if Martin contributed and Norman can't find anything wrong, it must be right...

Regarding the Tina, how is Tina's Tina progressing?

The only thing I have found was that somebody thought #2 was "clumsy"
On the subject, Oliver, there must be someone who has access to the archives on the Tridents, and yes I've asked the guy's who supposed to know but no answer.

Think it was Fiore himself who thought No. 2 was a bit clumsy!
He didn't like having to raise the roofline and generally expand the car slightly to accommodate the average American!
It's extremely hard to tell where the differences are from No. 1 but believe the others are all very slightly higher and wider.
