Nah... -He's a Rover SD1.

http://www.aronline.co.uk/images/polish_adventure_18.jpg

A little bit lopsided, with a slightly lumpy appearance. -Over-rated and liable to keep to the middle of the road just when it's most irritating, oftenly lurching suddenly to the right when things appear to be going wrong.

Favored by greedy and pushy entrepreneurs, the SD1 promised to revive the country which it was chosen to represent, yet it became progressively weaker and more troublesome throughout its reign.

I have the feeling that I have more experience in my little finger than you do in your whole body about audio electronics..

Actually, I thought about it. -"Maverick" really is an excellent way to describe him.

From the history/language book "Made in America" by Bill Bryson, -quoting from memory:

-The word Maverick honours Samuel Maverick, a Texas cattle-owner who refused to brand his cattle, claiming -when asked by others why he didn't mark his property- that it was cruel to animals. -In fact, the true reason was so that when stray/wild/unbranded cattle were found, he could send his ranchers to claim them as his property.

-So there you have it. -Someone who claims to be looking after the interests of others, while in fact serving to surreptitiously benefit himself and others close to him.

Yeah... "-Maverick"... -yeah, -that sounds about right to me.

Keith that's awesome.  I didn't know the history of that word but boy does it fit.  It fits pretty much all of the repubs.

BTW I'm a Bryson fan too.

My aunt had that exact same Pinto! Same color, same year by the looks of it.

Re: maverick--it's funny with all the sayings like "maverick", we don't even know their origin. Excellent find, Keith!
