From-scratch BMW R90S motorcycle build finished

Of the 1,600 separate parts needed to build a 1975 BMW R90S motorcycle, 1,595 are available as factory replacements – or so Max BMW found out when it recently set out to build an entire R90S from scratch.
Max BMW has posted a video on YouTube showing the completed 1975 R90 bike that they assembled almost entirely from OE parts listed in the factory replacement catalog; the five parts not available Max sourced from donor bikes. The final total cost for the parts only was over $46,000. The labor for three technicians working over four days would definitely add to that total, had they not donated their efforts. A far cry from the original MSRP, but Max's crew of parts associates and mechanics were able to prove that it could be done with a little help from a used rear swing arm, rear brake pedal and linkage assembly and a few other small details.

Classic BMW air-head fanatics can appreciate this. Max BMW of New Hampshire is busy at work this week building a 1975 BMW R90S motorcycle from all new parts listed in the BMW replacement parts catalog.
The time spent on researching, ordering, organizing and cataloging each separate part needed to complete the build has taken well over a year. That part of the project was completed recently when every part was spread out on the floor at their classic restoration facility in their North Hampton, New Hampshire, location for the above photo. Now the goal is to assemble the entire bike in four days with three technicians (one from each of their three locations) working together to complete the task.
What the final product should look like.
Updates will be posted to the Max BMW Facebook page, and the build is taking place now over a live video feed; if you want to see the build in person, you can do that too. We're not sure exactly what the final price tag will be once the bike is complete, but you can bet it is north of the original $3,500 MSRP for one of these bikes.
The build makes you wonder just how many other classic cars and bikes have a complete parts back-up still available and how much more expensive it would be to build a classic from scratch. Deuce Coupe, Mustang and Camaro and Harley fans might get close, but we don't think the parts coverage is on a par with what is still available for BMWs.
Exner in excess: Chrysler Falcon, 1966 Duesenberg to appear at Amelia Island

As disparate as the 1955 Chrysler Falcon and 1966 Duesenberg Model D appear at first glance, the two concept-slash-prototype cars have quite a bit in common. Both result from designs by famed stylist Virgil Exner and feature a number of Exner hallmarks; both were slated to enter production, but missed that goal; and both have been scheduled to appear at next year's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance.
Throughout his career, Exner expressed a fondness for certain classic elements of automobile design, particularly for those that highlighted the mechanical functionality of a car. He liked round, open wheel arches; he liked upright grilles; and he especially liked fast, powerful cars. So by the early to mid-1950s, after Exner became Chrysler's first director of styling and when he felt it was finally time to design a car for himself, he didn't design just another sedan or luxury car; instead, he designed a two-seat convertible sports car. As Peter Grist wrote in his biography of the designer, Virgil Exner: Visioneer, Exner wanted "a car that embodied everything that he wanted to see in a classic automobile; sports, thoroughbred styling and power to match."

With help from designer Maurice Baldwin, Exner came up with a logical, though slightly larger, competitor to Chevrolet's Corvette and Ford's Thunderbird. Sitting on a 105-inch wheelbase (in 1955, both Corvette and Thunderbird rode 102-inch wheelbases) and coming in at 182 inches total length (compared to 167 inches for Corvette and 175 inches for Thunderbird), the Falcon used integrated body and frame construction as well as a 276-cu.in. Hemi V-8 backed by a PowerFlite automatic transmission. As with other Exner idea cars, Ghia built the Falcon for Chrysler.

According to Grist, however, Exner envisioned the Falcon as more than an idea car. It borrowed heavily from the Chrysler parts bin and didn't require any advanced production techniques, so why not develop it as a production car, he reasoned. But Chrysler's engineering staff, with which Exner fought incessantly, blocked the Falcon from becoming a reality, noting that the company already had a couple of performance vehicles in the Chrysler 300-series cars and Dodge D-500; why would it need another?
Nevertheless, more than one Falcon was built; just how many is up for debate. The original one, finished in black, went to Exner, who competed with it at SCCA races, but a number of sources have pointed to a May 27, 1954, letter from Ghia's Luigi Segre to Chrysler's C.B. Thomas mentioning two different Falcons (designated A-488 and called "Chrysler Sports Roadster") as well as a near-identical De Soto Sports Roadster (designated A-489). Exner's black Falcon has gone missing and wasn't recorded as destroyed, and the third one – reportedly painted red – was apparently never photographed, but the second one, a light blue example, wound up in Joe Bortz's collection in 1987, and will make its way to Amelia in March.

Also appearing from Bortz's collection, the 1966 Duesenberg Model D showcases typical Exner design language – upright grille, open wheel arches – but to a different purpose. One of a number of attempts to revive the Duesenberg name, this one originated with Fritz Duesenberg, son of August Duesenberg, who reportedly took inspiration from the four neoclassic designs that Exner and his son, Virgil Exner Jr., drew up for the December 1963 issue of Esquire. Sitting on a 137.5-inch-wheelbase Imperial chassis, powered by a 440-cu.in. Chrysler V-8, and exuding luxury from its cashmere-and-leather interior to its custom double-whitewall tires, the Ghia-built Model D prototype debuted in March 1966 in Indianapolis. Fritz Duesenberg and his business partners spoke of limited production of the near-$20,000 car and even began construction of a factory in Indianapolis with orders in hand, but only the prototype ever materialized.
That prototype then went to auction a couple of years later to help pay down the company's debts and ended up in the hands of collector Sam Schwartz of Long Island, who displayed it for a number of years in the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum. Bortz said that he first met Schwartz in the early 1970s and even got Schwartz to agree to sell it to him then, but it wasn't for another 30-plus years that Bortz and Schwartz actually completed the transaction. According to Bortz, it retains its original paint and interior, and has benefited from a recent tune-up and sprucing to ready it for show.
With these two cars, the Amelia Island Concours will be one of two major U.S. concours events to highlight Exner cars next year; the Concours of America has also announced that it will spotlight Exner's automotive designs with a special class.
Next year's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance will take place March 7-9. For more information, visit AmeliaConcours.org.
Avantis to descend on Gainesville, Florida, for Winterfest

Cats, it's often said, are blessed with nine lives. The same can likely be said about the Avanti, a car designed by Raymond Loewy (and a team of others, including Tom Kellogg, Bob Andrews and John Ebstein) for Studebaker in 1963. Though the radically styled sport coupe failed to prevent Studebaker's demise, the Avanti has risen from the dead on numerous occasions in the ensuing decades, including the most recent attempt to revive the marque, which lasted from 2001 until early 2007. Next February, Avantis of all vintages will converge on Gainesville, Florida, as the Avanti Club of Florida presents Winterfest, commemorating the club's 20th anniversary.
Developed under the direction of then-Studebaker president Sherwood Egbert, the Studebaker Avanti was designed by Loewy and his team in just 40 days. Its polarizing looks were influenced by doodles provided to Loewy by Egbert, and the car sported innovative features such as a lightweight fiberglass body, front disc brakes and even an available supercharger to increase output. Billed as "America's only four-passenger, high-performance personal car," the Avanti hit Studebaker showrooms too late to have a significant impact on the brand's sales. Worse, production delays and quality issues with the Avanti's fiberglass body led to the cancellation of orders already in house, perhaps expediting the car's original demise.
A post-2001 Avanti convertible.
The first attempt to revive the Avanti came from South Bend, Indiana, Studebaker dealers Nate Altman and Leo Newman, who purchased the old Avanti factory and all of its tooling in June of 1964. By 1965, the factory was again producing Avanti models under the name of Avanti Motor Corporation. While this venture would change ownership in 1983, it would last until the final Avanti Motor Corporation car was produced in 1985. The brand would not remain dormant for long, as the New Avanti Motor Corporation began producing automobiles in 1987, and lasted through the 1988 model year. Next came Avanti Automotive Corporation, which produced cars from 1989 until closing in 1991. From 1992 through 1996, no Avantis were constructed, but in 1997 original Avanti designer Tom Kellogg partnered with collector Jim Bunting to create the AVX prototype, which mounted a modernized Avanti body on a donated GM F-body platform. Only three were constructed in 1997, and the Avanti again went dormant until 2001, when the Avanti Motor Corporation resumed production of the car. As with the AVX prototype, early examples were built on a GM F-body platform before the automaker switched to a Ford Mustang platform in 2005. In 2007, the Avanti Motor Corporation built its last car, and the total production of all Avanti models built between 1963 and 2007 stands at just 8,187 examples.
Winterfest honors Avantis of any year and any manufacturer. More than just a car show, this year's Winterfest will include a driving tour to visit the Studebaker collection of Steven Cade; a seminar with a University of Florida professor discussing the influence Avanti designer Loewy had on mid-century modern design; a "spouse's tour" to visit nearby Micanopy (the oldest inland town in Florida); technical clinics on the Avanti; and a Saturday evening awards dinner, featuring the presentation of the John Ebstein Award (named for the Avanti engineer and Florida club founder) and an appearance by guest speaker John Seaton. Seaton was the CEO of the Avanti Motor Company, which produced the final generation of Avantis (first in Georgia, and later in Cancun, Mexico) before ending production in 2007.

The Avanti Winterfest will end on Sunday, February 9, with a tour to High Springs, Florida, for a group lunch. Organizer Thomas Pinnel hopes to draw 40 cars and 75 participants, a number comparable to the last regional event hosted by the Avanti Club of Florida in 1999. This year's Winterfest also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Avanti Club of Florida, and support from Visit Gainesville has enabled the club to expand the size and scope of this year's event. As Pinnel explained, regional events dedicated exclusively to the Avanti are something of a rarity, as most Avanti meets are held in conjunction with larger organizations like the Studebaker Drivers Club.
While enthusiasts of all types are welcome to tour the show field at the Best Western Plus Gateway Grand in Gainesville on Saturday, February 8, the display will be limited to Avanti models of all years. For more information on the event, contact the Avanti Club of Florida, John Ebstein Chapter, via the email link in the Hemmings event calendar.
Four-Links – 50 years of Honda cars, Ghostbusters Checker?, Mustang (scooter) reborn, mobile airport lounge
* As Japanese Nostalgic Car noted this past week, last month marked the semi-centennial of Honda's first passenger car, the S-series (S500, S600, S800) sports car. To commemorate the anniversary, Honda even apparently put together a replica of an S360, the planned-but-never-produced precursor to the S500, seen right up front in the above photo.
* Could the Ectomobile have been a Checker? Star Cars, a web series dedicated to TV and film cars, recently came across this preliminary sketch for Ghostbusters 2 that suggests that possibility.
* According to The Kneeslider, the Mustang scooter has been revived by California Scooter Company.
* Shorpy recently posted several photos of the Budd-bodied mobile airport lounges on Chrysler chassis introduced at Washington's Dulles airport in the early 1960s. According to some commenters, the lounges are still in use today.
* Finally, Bob Blackman at Engine Punk went on a photo archive dive and came back with this mystery Imp-based (or, at least, Impish-looking) hillclimber.
Never-was Tucker Torpedo finally taking shape more than 65 years later
Photos courtesy of Rob Ida.
Rob Ida's grandfather, Joe Ida, briefly owned a Tucker dealership in Yonkers, New York, and while the shop closed after just three days in business – a victim of the scandal that enveloped Preston Tucker – the vision of Preston Tucker and his remarkable automobiles stayed with the Ida family. In 2001, Rob and his father, Bob, constructed their first hand-built replica Tucker 48, with the blessing of the Tucker family, and now the pair is moving on to something even more ambitious: creating the Tucker 48's predecessor, the George Lawson-designed but never-built Tucker Torpedo.
It was Christmas of 1946 when George Lawson presented Preston Tucker with a quarter-scale model of the Tucker Torpedo. Hedging his bets, Lawson styled the model with an asymmetrical design, in order to give Tucker the freedom to choose the preferred design. The passenger side of the model was rather conventional, using a fixed front fender and a fixed headlamp. The driver side, however, used a movable fender that steered with the front wheels, allowing the outboard headlamps to track the vehicle's path of motion. The central "cyclops" headlamp would light the path directly ahead.

The Torpedo originally featured sweeping coupe styling, with the driver located along the centerline of the car for optimized handling and improved visibility. Like the Tucker 48, the Tucker Torpedo specified disc brakes and an independent suspension in all four corners and relied upon a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-six engine. Preston Tucker, however, deemed a slightly more conventional shape as more marketable, so the Torpedo coupe concept was shelved.
History tells us that the Tucker Corporation was shuttered before it could begin full production of the Tucker 48, the victim of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation that ultimately cleared Preston Tucker of all charges. Still, the damage was done, and Tucker died before his vision of building a truly progressive automobile could be realized. It never left the Tucker family, just as it never left the Ida family, and the two began communicating as the Idas began work on the original Tucker 48 recreation. Initially, the plan was for Ida Concepts to build 50 Tucker 48s, each constructed by hand and powered by a rear-mounted Cadillac Northstar V-8. After finishing the first, Rob Ida realized that opening up sales would rob the business of creative control, as each customer would want something increasingly outlandish. With nightmare visions of a flamed-metallic-chartreuse Tucker 48 riding on 24-inch spinners dancing in Ida's head, he said he realized the path forward was to build the Tucker 48s he wanted to build; if customers wanted to purchase them, fine. If they didn't, that was fine, too, because Ida Concepts had plenty of other business to fall back on.

That was back in 2001, and since then Ida Concepts has built (and sold) four Tucker 48 models. Number five is under construction, and this one will feature a twin-turbo setup on its Cadillac Northstar engine. Because the Northstar platform is getting hard to find these days, Ida said that future Tucker 48 models will rely on the readily available Chevrolet LS-series V-8 for propulsion. With the Tucker 48 challenge met, Ida's thoughts turned towards recreating the Tucker that never was: the original Torpedo concept, as envisioned by George Lawson. "This Torpedo concept was what really triggered [my grandfather] to put it all on the line," Ida said. "This was the car that he really wanted."
Recreating a car that existed in limited numbers is challenging enough, but building a car that existed only as a quarter-scale model creates its own problems. The Petersen Automotive Museum gave Ida access to the original Lawson Torpedo model, and Sean Tucker, Preston Tucker's great-grandson (and an automotive engineer himself), lent his expertise to the project. Tucker also granted access to the family's extensive archives, providing rare and original artwork to show what the Torpedo may have looked like. After scanning the original model and creating a full three-dimensional pattern, the Idas then cut out full-size sections of the pattern and assembled them into a wooden buck, which will be used to create the Torpedo's hand-sculpted aluminum bodywork.
Ida and his team (which includes his father, Bob, and Sean Tucker on a part-time basis) are already a few years into the project, which will take another two years or so to complete. The shop will handle every step of building the car, from creating its steel frame to finishing its paint and upholstery, with the exception of creating the drivetrain. As per Preston Tucker's original vision, the Torpedo will be rear-engined, powered by an air-cooled flat-six engine. Ida figures that a normally aspirated 3.0-liter Porsche flat-six will give him in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower, which is quite a bit more than Tucker could have envisioned back in 1946.
The Ida Tucker Torpedo already has a home, too. A current Ida Tucker 48 owner saw the designs in the shop and committed to purchasing the car on the spot, regardless of cost. Ida said the full-size Torpedo will include not only the center-position steering from Lawson's design, but also the fenders and headlamps that turn with the wheels.
The wooden buck built from George Lawson's original clay model.
"I love the fact that we're able to kinda reach back there and pull something special out of history and bring it back to life," Ida said. For more information about the Rob Ida Tuckers, visit RobIdaConcepts.com.

Chinese automaker Chery restarts Moke production

Two decades ago, the last Moke rolled off an assembly line in Portugal, built in a former Austin Rover plant by Italian motorcycle manufacturer Cagiva. Now, thanks to undying interest in the diminutive utility vehicle, and backing by Chinese automaker Chery, production of an old-but-new Classic Moke has resumed, built under a cooperative agreement with Jaguar Land Rover at a facility in China.
If one factors in only the original concept behind a vehicle's design, the Mini Moke was an abject failure. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, the Moke was initially intended to be used as a light transport vehicle by the British military. While the mini-Jeep could have easily been air dropped in remote locations, or extracted by four soldiers when bogged down in difficult terrain, the Moke's 10-inch wheels and lack of ground clearance made it wholly unsuitable for military use. In fact, the only branch of service to show interest in the original Moke was the Royal Navy, which envisioned the Moke as ideal for use aboard aircraft carriers.
Undeterred, Issigonis reportedly designed later versions of the Moke with all-wheel drive and twin engines. While these undoubtedly provided better traction on smooth, slippery surfaces, their additional complexity and continuing lack of clearance for harsh terrain soon saw this variant rejected as well. In 1964, the Moke was offered through both Morris and Austin dealers, targeted to farmers and those needing an ultra-compact, light-duty utility vehicle.
Production began at British Motors' Longbridge plant in January of 1964, and by the end of the Moke's run in Birmingham in 1968, nearly 15,000 units had been constructed. The Moke had found favor among farmers and beach-goers in Australia, and a British Motors facility in Sydney (which began manufacturing the Moke in 1966) took over worldwide production. This lasted until 1982, when production of the Australian-built Moke ended. Its death was short-lived, as British Leyland began producing the Moke at a factory in Portugal in 1983.
This arrangement lasted another six years, with ongoing design changes demanded by the market, until Italian motorcycle manufacturer Cagiva purchased the rights to build the Moke in 1990. From 1991 until the end of production in 1993, Cagiva built the Moke in Portugal, dropping the Mini name from the vehicle's title. Thanks to oversupply and shrinking demand, the Moke's impressive 29-year production run appeared to be over.
The micro-jeep may have been absent from the market, but it was still fresh in the minds of Mini and Mini Moke faithful. Designer Michael Young falls into this category, and when contacted by Moke International about redesigning the classic Moke for the 21st century, Young said he considered the task a "call of duty." Starting with a clean sheet of paper, Young penned a design that looks like the original, while improving its handling, braking, comfort and safety. In 2012, Chery subsidiary Sicar Engineering joined the project, and a joint venture arrangement was struck with Jaguar Land Rover to begin building the new Classic Moke in China.
Power for the Classic Moke comes from a 1.0-liter four-cylinder engine, rated at 50 horsepower and 68 pound-feet of torque, and drive goes to the front wheels via a standard five-speed manual or optional automatic transmission. The list of safety features includes front and rear roll bars, three-point seat belts for front seat passengers (and unspecified seat belts for rear seat passengers) and a front passenger airbag (though, oddly enough, no driver side air bag). Consumers can choose from left- or right-hand drive configurations as well as a palette of six exterior colors and four interior colors.
If that's the good news, here's the bad: The initial production run of 1,000 units will go to the Australian market, at prices that have yet to be published. Eventually, the Moke will make it to the Caribbean, but don't expect distribution to extend to the United States. Though the Classic Moke is undoubtedly safer than the original Mini Moke, meeting the current USDOT regulations for passenger vehicles would add layers of complexity (and hence, layers of cost) to the Classic Moke's design.
Longer-term, there are plans for a battery-powered electric Moke as well (called, of course, the eMoke). For more information on the Classic Moke, visit MokeInternational.com.
Once-lost Super Cheetah prototype, discovered in garage after 40 years, now for sale
Photos courtesy Bob Auxier, except where noted.
Bill Thomas's Cheetah may very well have become a legend on par with Carroll Shelby's Cobra if it hadn't been for a number of factors, a shop fire and a sudden withdrawal of funding from Chevrolet among them. However, Thomas had even larger plans beyond those homologation racing coupes, and the never-completed prototype for those plans, what he called the Super Cheetah, has come up for sale after resting in a garage for 40 years.
Thomas was certainly no unknown quantity in Chevrolet performance during the 1950s and 1960s. An engineer by training, the Southern Californian took an interest in Chevrolets – Corvettes in particular – and not only racked up dozens of road-race wins behind a Corvette's wheel, but also became an expert in tuning Chevrolet's Rochester fuel-injection systems and small-block V-8s. He got his foot in the door with Chevrolet in 1961, sticking small-blocks into Chevy IIs, and when Shelby introduced the Cobra, Thomas approached Chevrolet with a plan to strike back: Setting up shop in Anaheim, California, with master fabricator Don Edmunds, he'd build 100 fiberglass-bodied Chevrolet-powered coupes to satisfy FIA homologation requirements. Fuel-injected 327s would provide the power, running through Corvette drivetrain components, including the Corvette's independent rear suspension, though the drivetrain would be considerably shortened – to the point where Thomas required only a u-joint, and no driveshaft between the tail of the transmission and the rear end's center section.

To package it all, Thomas decided on a custom chassis with a 90-inch wheelbase and a sleek gullwing-door coupe body. After Edmunds finished the first two prototype bodies in aluminum from California Metal Stamping sections built over Edmunds's wooden buck, the rest were built from fiberglass. The bodies provided little room for the driver – and even less venting for the heat that built up inside of them – but also dropped the Cheetah's weight down to around 1,500 pounds and enabled 200-plus-MPH top speeds. Even before homologation, the Cheetah competed successfully in SCCA's modified classes, but a rule change during the 1964 racing season – to force manufacturers to build 1,000 cars for homologation instead of 100 – contributed to Chevrolet's decision to pull its funding for the Cheetah project in May 1964. According to Bob Auxier of BTM Race Cars, which builds continuation Cheetahs today, Bill Thomas built just 19 chassis and 33 bodies before the funding ran out (At least one company, Allied Fiberglass, offered replica bodies for sale for a while.). While Thomas tried to keep the venture going on his own afterward, a September 1965 fire brought those efforts to a halt. What remained of the venture was sold off at a sheriff's auction in the summer of 1970.
Original rendering of the Super Cheetah.
One reason Thomas tried to keep the Cheetah alive even after Chevrolet's withdrawal from the project ironically plays into Chevrolet's reasons for withdrawing in the first place. According to Auxier, Thomas only intended for the Cheetahs to serve as the developmental prototypes for the Super Cheetah, a grand touring car meant for street use that would address all the issues that cropped up on the "little Cheetah." Thomas widened it by four inches, lengthened it by 19 inches, made the doors 10 inches wider, and fixed some suspension issues that plagued the initial cars. He also envisioned the Super Cheetah using a choice of big-block or small-block engines, manual or automatic transmissions, and creature comforts such as air conditioning.
Chevrolet's experimental Corvair Monza GT.
His inspiration for the Super Cheetah's styling came in part from the Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT. According to Auxier, Thomas did some developmental work on the Monza GT's engine and chassis in 1961-1962 and obviously took a shine to the kamm-style tail that Larry Shinoda and Tony Lapine incorporated in their design for the mid-engine experimental car. "A lot of people said that the Super Cheetah was styled off the Cobra Daytona coupe, but that's not the case," Auxier said. "Bill had his own drawings done for the Super Cheetah that clearly show the rear end inspired by the Monza GT."
The front end, however, was pure Cheetah. In fact, Thomas took the aluminum nose, cowl, doglegs and windshield header off one of the two prototype Cheetahs – according to Auxier, the one that he sent to GM for testing purposes (the very first of those two cars) – and mated it to the Super Cheetah's rear section. Because Edmunds had left Thomas's venture before Thomas began work on the Super Cheetah, Thomas again turned to California Metal Stamping to shape the remainder of the the aluminum pieces for the body, then had Don Borth and Warren Williams assemble the body. "Bill used the aluminum body simply because he didn't have the funds for another body," Auxier said. "He knew that the prototype's aluminum body would be torn up racing anyway." (Indeed, the first prototype Cheetah's chassis was rebodied in fiberglass and wrecked multiple times over the years. Apparently only three of the first-run Cheetah's still have their original bodies mated to their original chassis.)
Thomas began work on the Super Cheetah in 1963, before Chevrolet pulled its funding. He generated a spec sheet and even outlined plans for fiberglass-bodied production Super Cheetahs and to formulate an assault on Le Mans in 1965 with the aluminum prototype Super Cheetah, likely with Jerry Titus at the wheel.
"Chevrolet got nervous when they saw Bill's plans for the Super Cheetah," Auxier said. "They saw it as competition for the Corvette, and that probably caused them to pull out more than anything."
At 100 units, that wouldn't have been very likely, but the 1,000-unit mark started to look somewhat significant against the Corvette's production numbers, at the time hovering around 22,000 to 23,000.
Whatever the exact cause of the pullout, Thomas continued to piece the Super Cheetah together for the next year or so, installing a drivetrain, suspension, brakes (discs versus the little Cheetah's drums), and wheels and tires to make it a roller, but after the fire – which occurred in a separate part of the shop from where Thomas kept the Super Cheetah – he put it away into storage and focused on building race engines. At the sheriff's auction, none other than Don Edmunds bought the Super Cheetah with a winning bid of $300. Edmunds then sold it about a year later for $1,750, untouched, sitting on the chassis jig for the smaller Cheetahs with just a small-block V-8 mocked into place. A man in Memphis, Tennessee, bought it and then left it in his garage, again untouched, for the next 40 years.

Auxier – who began building continuation Cheetahs with Bill Thomas's blessing in 2001, before Thomas died in October 2009 – said he tracked the Super Cheetah down 20 years ago but wasn't able to actually view it until the family of the man who bought it agreed to sell it to him in August 2011. Since removing it from its garage, he has made it a roller again, this time with a 427-cu.in. Chevrolet V-8, Muncie M22 four-speed transmission and 2.72-geared Corvette rear end. While he's currently working toward finishing it in the exact configuration that Bill Thomas envisioned for the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans – in Corvette Daytona Blue with red and white stripes up the nose and black interior – he has also put it up for sale on the Hemmings.com classifieds with an asking price of $1.25 million. Auxier said his original plan was to finish the Super Cheetah for the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance; in his listing on Hemmings.com he will consider taking on an investor to complete it for the concours. "I think it's worth $2.5 million if I finish it," he said.
Auxier had put the Cheetah continuation company up for sale in 2011, but found no buyers and said he was simply looking for investors at the time. He has since returned to building continuation Cheetahs from his shop in Glendale, Arizona. He also said he is developing plans to build more Super Cheetahs in carbon fiber.

While the 1967 big-block Corvette coupe once owned by the late astronaut Neil Armstrong made headlines earlier when it came up for sale, it made bigger headlines this fall when the current owner, Joe Crosby, decided that he didn't want to restore it; rather, he engaged a team led by Eric Gill to preserve it, following Smithsonian preservation guidelines. That effort is now under way, and we hope to update you on this story as the preservation proceeds.
#9 – Reproduction 1940 Ford coupe bodies receive official Ford licensing. When Ford announced this fall that it had licensed steel reproduction 1940 Ford coupe bodies, we got all the details from the folks at Dennis Carpenter, which sells the bodies, and from the guys at Real Deal Steel, the company that assembles the bodies here in the United States.
#8 – Tucker convertible to cross the block in Scottsdale. Perhaps the most controversial car in the collector car hobby, the Tucker convertible has generated countless headlines and arguments since Justin Cole restored it and debuted it to the public three years ago. While it had fallen out of the spotlight for the last couple of years, it resurfaced again this year when Barrett-Jackson announced it will cross the block in Scottsdale next month. Will it bid up to the numbers Cole had previously asked for it? Stay tuned.
#7 – Volkswagen to offer factory restorations of the iconic microbus. Adding to the list of German automakers that offer restorations of its products, Volkswagen announced in the spring that it would make its Hannover restoration shop's services available to owners of the Type 2 Microbus. We believe more automakers should devote such attention to their heritage.
#6 – Has the end finally come for the Packard plant? Packard's 110-year-old Detroit factory has been crumbling for decades, providing photo opportunities aplenty for urban explorers, but that may come to an end soon, as David LaChance wrote in March, with both the city and the plant's current owner exploring options for demolishing the complex and cleaning up the site – a project that could cost as much as $20 million. As of this writing, the plant still stands and the city is still trying to gain possession of the site to begin the clean-up process.
#5 – Flatmobile, the world's lowest car, sells at auction for $15,000. Admittedly, most auction stories here report on the big-ticket items – cars that sell in the six- and seven-figure ranges. This one's a little different, not just because it sold for less than what a new Kia costs, but also because it's the world's lowest car, as verified by the Guinness Book of World Records, at a mere 19 inches.
#4 – Chevelle, Corvette cloners busted, charged with felonies. While we see clones being passed off as the real thing all the time, it's not that often we also see the cloners prosecuted for doing so, but that's exactly what happened this summer when two separate cloners – one trying to sell a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 as an LS6 SS 454 and one who tampered with a 1966 Corvette 427's VIN – were charged with felonies for their handiwork.
#3 – Once buried alive, 1954 Corvette now heads to auction. Speaking of Corvettes, did you ever hear the story about the guy who sealed off his 1954 Corvette in a grocery store in 1959 and ordered it to remain there until 2000? As it turns out, the story's real and the Corvette – rescued from the tomb in 1986 – is now headed to auction with Mecum in Kissimmee, still in its original state.
#2 – California considers the return of black license plates. As Terry McGean explained, California's black license plates were – and are – more than just license tags: They're a point of pride, as well as an indicator of a car's time spent in the hospitable California climate. So it was more than a little noteworthy when California's legislature this year debated allowing the DMV to again issue black plates. Terry followed up his story a month later with news that the legislature appeared ready to approve the plan.
#1 – Ohio man busted for trying to sell cloned Chevelle Z16 as the real thing. The two cloners above weren't the only ones to face consequences for their actions. A couple in Australia was ordered to compensate their victim more than $100,000 for selling a fake Ford Falcon XW GT and in April an Ohio man pled guilty to trying to pass off a cloned Chevelle Z16 as the real thing. As David Traver Adolphus related the story, he might have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for the highly diligent Chevelle and Z16 online communities.
Honorable Mention – We love seeing your comments, and you've been very prolific in telling us what you think about the stories we write this year. As happened last year, a story that didn't break into the top 10 in terms of pageviews nevertheless generated more discussion than any of the above stories: Mark McCourt's story on the Mercedes-Benz crackdown on illegal 300 SL replica bodies. Is Mercedes-Benz doing the right thing? Is it overreacting? Plenty of readers came down on both sides of the discussion.
Thanks to all of our readers for a great year, and stay tuned for more first-class coverage of the collector car hobby in 2013. And to make sure you don't miss any of that coverage, sign up for the free Hemmings Daily newsletter if you haven't done so already.

We will check them for serviceability and stock the shelves. These items are provided to base personnel at no cost on a first come, first serve basis. Please call us at 228-5588 or visit us at Bldg. 5227.

Please remind your shops of the Free Issue storage area and also remind them to only order the minimum amount of materials needed to do the job. This avoids wasting expired hazardous materials.

Merry Christmas, From 'Community'
'Community' was nice enough to give us a sneak peek of what we have to look forward to when they come back on the air in February. We are excited to say ...
'Community' was nice enough to give us a sneak peek of what we have to look forward to when they come back on the air in February. We are excited to say ...
The cast of 'Seinfeld' sure are having a nice couple of days, what with a 60 Minutes poll declaring the series the greatest sitcom of all time, and Michael Richards' TV return, but the best news of all might belong to 'Community.' We've just learned that a former 'Seinfeld' star will go from TV's greatest sitcom to its most under-appreciated, guesting in 'Community's upcoming fourth season. So what's the deal with Jason Alexander's top-secret 'Community' season 4 gig?
No one was particularly surprised (except maybe the writers) when Chevy Chase announced that he'd be quitting his role as 'Community's Pierce Hawthorne, particularly given the rough history with both published comments and now-departed creator Dan Harmon. Yet, with two episodes yet to be shot before Chase's exit, and the always hopeful possibility of a fifth season, have the writers re-worked the season to incorporate Pierce's departure? Could Pierce be meeting Mr. Mayhem?
Streets ahead? Streets behind? Just plain streets? Any loyal 'Community' fan knows that for as long as the series has aired on NBC, series star Chevy Chase has had a public distaste for its brand of humor, his character Pierce Hawthorne, and particularly former show-runner Dan Harmon. Chase himself has hinted multiple times that he might leave the series, and has now officially confirmed his exit. But with so much of the thirteen-episode season 4 shot, will we really miss him?
These days, we're still living in a 'Community'-less pit of despair, as just when we thought a new season was about to begin, NBC pulled the rug out from underneath us. The underrated critical darling's fourth eason may not be debuting this Friday, October 19 anymore, but that doesn't mean you have to wait until NBC decides the ultimate fate of the series! How would you like a Dean-alicious look at a new scene from 'Community' season 4 right now?
For years now, many have lauded the Emmys as a predictable ceremony, including Jon Stewart last night, but one thing that certainly didn't surprise us was the lack of acknowledgement for 'Community,' in particular its outspoken star Chevy Chase. Over the last year we've heard Chase take potshots at everything from the series to departing showrunner Dan Harmon, but with Harmon gone and 'Community' possibly heading into its last season, what new bile does Chase have for the show?

If Loving Food is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right. ~ Ann Nichols
"The more appetizing foods are made, the more is eaten and the worse for the health of the body." ~ Helen Nearing, Simple Food for the Good Life
With all due respect to Ms. Nearing, falser words have rarely been written. Bring on the seductive smell of baking bread, the sweetness of roasted carrots and the chewy brown crust at the edge of the casserole! Food is not our enemy, but a source of nourishment for body and soul—the more appetizing, the better.
I found Nearing's cookbook while looking for new vegetarian recipes, and I knew immediately that it was going to infuriate me. I read it anyway and its insistence on spice-free, no-frills, anti-appetizing food made me bristle (don't even get me started on the whole "nobody would ever need to drink water if they stopped eating all those spices and all that salt" thing.)
I cook for a living and I am passionate about food as a cultural tradition, a community builder and a creative outlet.
Until recently, I have struggled with my weight and the idea that the path to wellness is by eating only things that don't taste good is… cockamamie. Because I'm getting to a healthy weight eating things that taste wonderful and I preach the gospel every time I hear about someone sacrificing all pleasure in the pursuit of thinner thighs.
Like many women, I have followed diets that demonized whole groups of food. I have been an Atkins, a fat-free and a 1000 calorie a day dieter and I have subsisted on nothing but bars, "shakes" and frozen meals. Nothing tasted good or satisfied my cravings; I lost weight and gained it back with interest. A lot of times.
Between diets, I numbed my emotions by stuffing myself with unhealthy, processed foods. When I dieted, nothing really tasted good or satisfied my real cravings. When I ate junk, I lost my ability to feel real hunger or to taste the honest goodness of real food through the salt, cheese, sugar and batter.
I had to make a change when I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. First I felt incredible self-loathing and judgmental about myself as fat, sloppy, and gluttonous. I would—at that time—willingly have agreed with Nearing's philosophy that tasty food is the enemy of good health. I put myself on a low carb, low flavor regimen that made food something to be hated and feared. I would not take a bite of my niece's birthday cake or eat a serving of the lasagna lovingly prepared by my Italian neighbor.
Like those times when you stand on the edge of a high place and obsess about how you might just make yourself step over that edge; I was terrified that the smallest "transgression" would lead me to buckets of fried chicken and boxes of Krispy Kremes. I held the line, aside from the necessary tasting of the things I cooked and served at work (but which I did not eat.)
My blood sugar dropped down to normal, and my doctor was thrilled.
Then I hit a rough patch in my life and ate everything in sight. I rebelled against the months of denial. My blood sugar went way up—my doctor was not thrilled—and sitting in her office, I could see the whole pattern repeating as an infinite loop for the rest of my life. I could not—you should pardon my French—fuck around with my weight or my blood sugar when the cost might be my vision or one of my feet.
What I needed was a middle path, a way to approach food that was moderate, healthy and still delightful.
Like The Buddha, I found that eating carelessly and indulgently kept me from seeing the wonder of healthy food and that eating the punitive diet of an ascetic, made me too obsessed with the contents of my own fork to pay attention to anything else in the world.
Enter my growing Buddhist practice—which gave me that needed middle ground—turned out that mindfulness, cooking and eating were a natural and sustainable threesome. From the wise words of Edward Espe Brown and Thich Nhat Hanh, I learned to respect the warm, pulsing, current of love and energy that moves from the growing things of the earth to my hands when I cook.
I could—I discovered—use my skill as a cook to create meals that were healthy for my body and balm to the soul. A piece of salmon, a little quinoa and steamed broccoli is healthy. Salmon marinated and grilled outdoors, quinoa sautéed with toasted almonds and broccoli roasted with a little salt and olive oil is healthy and delicious.
I bought interesting new grains, fruity olive oil and vegetables I had never heard of and… played in the kitchen. I thanked each ingredient for its life-giving nourishment, and turned them into something that looked, smelled and tasted heavenly. Oh and I used spices—lots and lots of them. Because—with all due respect to Ms. Nearing—if spices are recognized as desirable and even medicinal in many Asian cultures, they are good enough for me.
I am the lightest I have been since high school. My blood sugar is completely controlled and in a normal range. I am a novice yogi, taking pleasure in my leaner, healthier body as it stretches and lengthens more each week.
I can eat the birthday cake or the homemade lasagna with gratitude and joy, knowing that sharing food with friends and family is one of the best things this life has to offer. And I can adjust for those extra carbs and calories with a flow class, a walk and fewer carbs and calories for the next couple of meals.
I am leading an appetizing life. And I have never felt better.
Like elephant food on Facebook.

I love and am inspired by everything you write, but this one really hits home. Reading this I almost think I could do this, too. Namaste, my friend.
I don't often run into essays that rouse me to comment, but this one is different. I myself have never faced Type II diabetes or had a real weight problem, but I have struggled with that emotionally debilitating extra 15 pounds and therefore have seen food, not to mention my desire for food as the enemy. Luckily most of that attitude has changed in me as I've gotten older. Once in a while though, I find myself falling back into old negative mindsets. I am going to print up this essay and read it during those moments of self deriding weakness. Thank you for your honest writing about your passion, inspiration, intention. Good food is meant to be valued, appreciated, and savored with those we love. I appreciate the reminder.
After some time, though, I found myself back into the old negative attitude.

Oldest funerary wooden boat unearthed in Egypt
Mon Aug 6, 2012 5:51PM
Researchers believe that the boat, with the size of 6 meters tall and 1.50 meters wide, was built 5,000 years ago during the reign of Den (Udimu), one of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt."The boat is in a very well-preserved condition and is almost intact, thanks to the preservation power of the dry desert environment," said Egypt's Minister of Antiquities Mohamed Ibrahim. Early studies of the panels indicated that the boat belonged to King Den of the First Dynasty, who was not buried in Abu Rawash but whose tomb was uncovered at the royal necropolis of the Early Dynastic kings in the Upper Egyptian town of Abydos, Ibrahim explained. Egyptians believe that king Den brought prosperity to the land, and many innovations were attributed to his reign. He was the first to use granite in construction and decoration. Located eight kilometers northwest of the Giza plateau, Abu Rawash is known as a place that includes archaeological remains dating back to various historical periods. The newly discovered panels of the boat have been sent to the planned National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) for restoration and reconstruction at the museum's laboratories. The funerary boat is scheduled to be exhibited next year in the Nile Hall in the Egyptian museum. FGP/SS

There isn't ever any GOOD excuse to refrain from reviewing incredible makeup but let me explain my side of the Urban Decay Book of Shadows Volume II tale. I know SO many of you have e-mailed begging and pleading for me to review but I kinda wanted to do looks with the palette before reviewing…sigh….sadly my schedule is always jammed tightly packed and I didn't have that chance to do the looks which is why I've been held up with my review.
Don't hate me k?
Since Urban Decay Friends and Family is on at the moment now is good as any a time to spread the cheer and joy that surrounds Book of Shadows II.
Note before making the jump please know the post is photo intensive. I'd really appreciate it if you not download images from the post as it will bring down my site. I took lots of photos because I know it's fun to see each and every aspect of a makeup item but it's also at the cost of possibly causing a problem with my server so please refrain from downloading images, thanks!Read More...

Dontcha just want to believe that half his songs are all about a psychedelic acid trip? John Lennon is like the poster boy for good acid trips a la the un-paranoid journey.
But seriously…Strawberry Fields was the name of a Children's Home next to John's childhood home in Woolton. He actually played around the area and in a garden behind the actual home which was indeed named Strawberry Fields.
Dontcha love it? You get a review and FUN facts bout John Lennon. How cool am I?
I won't bug you further with the details of Strawberry Fields (I know all sorts of fun trivia about the Beatles) but speaking on the topic of strawberries and fields and such is my lead in for Fresh Strawberry Flowers Perfume. Loving all over it lately after purchasing it during Sephora Friends and Family.

Asian Studies
Asia is the world's most populous region. It is home to the oldest continuous civilizations and some of the world's most vibrant economies. For many years, U.S. trade across the Pacific has been far greater than trade across the Atlantic. Asian societies have worked out their own distinctive solutions to some of humanity's most enduring predicaments. Today, Asia's ancient religions and beliefs are showing remarkable flexibility in adapting to the challenges of the modern world.
If you are intrigued by this fascinating region of the world, the Asian Studies major and minor offer courses including Japanese and Chinese language, ancient and modern history, religions as varied as Sikhism and Buddhism, explorations of social issues, art and literature, and much more.
Students are highly encouraged to take advantage of CSU, Chico Study Abroad opportunities in China, India, Japan, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.

Other Questions. - EU Funding.
Thursday, 17 December 1998
Dáil Éireann Debate
6. Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Finance the papers, studies or documents prepared by his Department prior to, or arising from, the Government decision to divide the country in two for purposes of the next round of EU Structural Funds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24581/98]
7. Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Finance the plans, if any, there are for initiatives to deal with disadvantage in the many areas outside of the proposed Objective One area which suffer from high levels of poverty and deprivation in view of the decision to divide the country in two for the purposes of the next round of regional funds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25561/98]
23. Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Finance if the Government will revert to putting the case for the west, the Border and midlands regions if EUROSTAT rejects the Government's proposal, which includes Kerry and Clare; and if the EU will provide sufficient time for a re-submission. [25850/98]
28. Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Finance if he will seek an early meeting with the Commissioner for Regional Affairs to discuss the Government's plans for a regionalised approach to the next round of Structural Funds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24616/98]
38. Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Finance if the Shannon Estuary will be regarded as suitable for Objective One status; and if the parts of the estuary adjacent to Clare and Kerry will be considered exclusively for Objective One status where industrial development is required. [24951/98]
Mr. McCreevy: I propose to take Questions Nos. 6, 7, 23, 28 and 38 together.
The Government decided on 17 November on an application for the reclassification of Ireland's single NUTS II region status into two NUTS II regions: one comprising the Border, midlands and the west, including counties Kerry and Clare; and the other comprising the rest of the country. This application has now been lodged with EUROSTAT. The proposed inclusion of counties Clare and Kerry in one region means that the total west coast from counties Donegal to Kerry is now encompassed. This provides a plausible, integrated and realistic view of a peripheral area of the Community, in good balance with the overall Community picture. It is also fully consistent with the Commission's declared overall objective of greater concentration in the delivery of regional assistance.
My Department produced a number of papers on this issue for inter-departmental consideration and for consideration by the Ministers and Secretaries-General group on EU policy. It also drafted in the normal way a memorandum for Government along with accompanying aidemémoires on foot of which the decision of 17 November last was taken.
[1487] In regard to poor areas outside of the proposed Objective One region, I would draw the Deputy's attention to the Government's commitment in its press release on the regionalisation proposal that the proposal will not in any sense deflect the Government from its commitment to tackle social exclusion, urban or rural. Furthermore, Ireland, supported by some other member states, is pressing for the retention of the URBAN Community initiative.
Officials from my Department and the Central Statistics Office have met EUROSTAT to discuss the proposal. Contact is continuing and I do not propose to speculate on the outcome of the application or on what course the Government might pursue in the event of a negative response.
I have no specific plans at present to meet Commissioner Wulf-Mathies but I have no doubt that such a meeting, if necessary, could be arranged at short notice. Officials of my Department are in regular contact with officials of DG XVI, for which Commissioner Wulf-Mathies is responsible.
If the proposal to split the country into two NUTS II regions is approved by EUROSTAT, those parts of counties Clare and Kerry adjacent to the Shannon Estuary would be in the region which should qualify for Objective One status and therefore for the most favourable regime with regard to state aid for industrial development.
Mr. Gilmore: First, I protest at the Minister taking all of these questions together because they deal with distinct aspects of this issue. I ask you, a Cheann Comhairle, to allow some latitude in that regard in the pursuing of supplementary questions.
Question No. 6 asks the Minister about the papers, studies and documents on which the Government's decision was based. There is, as the Minister will be aware, a widespread belief that the decision to constitute a new unprecedented region has more to do with the configuration of the Dáil than the configuration of disadvantage around the country. The Government has been defending that on the grounds that the decision was made on its merits. If it was made on its merits, then let us see what were the merits. Will the Minister make available the various papers, in particular, the papers which were produced on 24 April, 11 June, 21 July, 18 September and 25 September last? Will he make those papers available so that Members and the public can objectively assess the basis on which this remarkable decision was made? If the decision was made on its merits, surely there are no grounds for the Minister to withhold the background papers and documents on which the Government made its decision.
Mr. McCreevy: Withholding the documents and reports had nothing to do with Kerry or Clare. The refusal is permitted by the Freedom [1488] of Information Act in the context of ongoing negotiations. When we conclude negotiations on sub-regionalisation with the European Commission, a request for the release of these documents under the Freedom of Information Act will be granted. I assure Deputies they will not be able to find that any political considerations entered into the decision.
I have pointed out that this matter was considered by the Government early this summer on foot of a Department of Finance report on regionalisation. The Department was asked by the Ministers and Secretaries group, which meets regularly to discuss European matters, to prepare proposals on the sub-regionalisation options. The possibility of including Kerry and Clare was contained in that document. It was not until late autumn and winter that representations or speeches mentioned the inclusion of Kerry and Clare. That will be shown when it is possible to release these documents when the negotiations are concluded with the Commission. I give that assurance to Deputy Gilmore as I did to members of my party some weeks ago.
A September edition of one of the business magazines referred to the matters to which I have referred and to the inclusion of Kerry and Clare. That was long before there was any political controversy about their inclusion.
Mr. Gilmore: Instead of the Minister's narrative about what was included or when it was included, it would be preferable if he simply produced the documents. This is a matter of major public policy — whether the country should be divided into two regions and the basis on which the Government arrived at its decision. It is in the public interest that this information is placed in the public domain.
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy should ask a question as this is Question Time.
Mr. Gilmore: The Minister appears to be deliberately withholding this information rather than placing it in the public domain. Question No. 7 concerns initiatives to be taken to deal with disadvantage in the areas outside the new Objective One region. The Minister gave a fleeting reply to this question. Can he assure the House that the various projects and schemes in existence under the URBAN and other EU-funded programmes will be continued through the period 2000 to 2006?
Mr. McCreevy: I have already answered the first part of the Deputy's question. The reason for withholding this information relates to the fact that such a measure could undermine our negotiating position. That is the proviso included in the——
Mr. Gilmore: Why — I thought it was soundly based?
Mr. McCreevy: It is not just about including [1489] Kerry and Clare, which only comprise a small part of the Government's consideration. There are other matters relating to overall strategy and how we are to pursue all of these issues in Europe.
Mr. Gilmore: Then take out the paragraphs on strategy.
Mr. McCreevy: The Deputy was part of the Government which introduced the Freedom of Information Act. He specifically included that proviso in the Act for that purpose.
Mr. Gilmore: That does not stop the Minister releasing the documents.
Mr. McCreevy: The Deputy would be the first to criticise the Government if we lost out in Europe by releasing such documents during the negotiations.
As regards the Community initiatives to combat social and urban exclusion, I have already stated that the Government will not be deflected from its commitment to tackle urban and rural social exclusion. Supported by other member states, Ireland is pressing for the retention of the URBAN Community initiative.
The Deputy also asked about the continuation of projects and schemes currently being funded. When the negotiations on Agenda 2000 are concluded and we know what the next tranche of funds will be, the Government will do as it has done in the past. A national plan will be prepared and submitted to Europe. The plan will include a wide range of activities which the Government will pursue over the next tranche of funding. All matters will be reviewed at that time, including all projects and schemes, taking into account Exchequer, EU and private sector contributions. This was the case with the previous plan.
Although we have had substantial European funding for many years, we still have social deprivation. European funds represent only a tiny fraction of total Government spending in this area. The Government is committed to tackling all problems of social exclusion, irrespective of the outcome of the EU funding negotiations.
Mr. Deenihan: Will the Minister clarify whether EUROSTAT has sought clarification on the Government's submission? Will he confirm that some reservations have been expressed, particularly by the Commission, regarding the composition of the proposed region? Will he also confirm once and for all that Deputy Healy-Rae had no influence on the proposal which went to Brussels?
Mr. McCreevy: Since the Government made its proposals, there have been meetings between the Department, the CSO and EUROSTAT to discuss the Irish proposals. These negotiations are ongoing and it would not be appropriate to comment on them. I anticipate that they will continue into the early months of 1999. I have said inside [1490] and outside the House, that the inclusion of Kerry and Clare in the new Objective One region was first raised in the documentation prepared by the Department of Finance on foot of a request by the Ministers and Secretaries-General group. It was discussed by that group in early summer, long before there was any political controversy about including Kerry and Clare.
Mr. McDowell: The Minister may be interested or shocked to hear that the same rules of secrecy do not apply to EUROSTAT as appear to apply in Merrion Street. EUROSTAT is happy to tell anyone of the status of the Irish application.
Have the consultants advising the Department on the national plan been asked to consider the implications of regionalisation? Have they been given terms of reference which invite them to submit different plans for different regions? What is regionalisation all about? Are we talking about different schemes which might apply to different problems in the two regions or are we simply talking about different funding mechanisms?
To take the example of the ESF, is it conceivable that programmes in an institute of technology in the Objective One region will be funded by the ESF and a similar project in an institute of technology in the non-Objective One region not funded?
Mr. McCreevy: The preparation of the national plan has been ongoing for some time. It is, as its name suggests, a national plan. The decision on sub-regionalising the country was made by the Government only a short time ago. I answered many questions from Deputy McDowell and other Deputies in this House on why the Government decided sub-regionalisation was the best option for the country.
Mr. McDowell: Is it not part of the terms of reference of the consultants drawing up the national plan?
Mr. McCreevy: I have no briefing at present regarding the terms of reference of the consultants, but the question of sub-regionalisation was decided by the Government only some weeks ago whereas the preparation of the national plan has been ongoing for some time.
Mr. McDowell: Perhaps the Minister might check and let me know whether it is included as part of the terms of reference.
Mr. Daly: In regard to the inclusion of County Clare in this submission, will the Minister ensure that in the negotiations that are to take place account will be taken of the very big fall in the population of west, north and parts of east Clare, in areas like Kilrush, Ennistymon, Scariff and so on where the number of people leaving agriculture has accelerated and the population is ageing at a significantly faster rate than in the rest of Ireland and where, in some district electoral divisions, the percentage of elderly people is 30 [1491] per cent to 40 per cent above the national average? Will the Minister ensure also that account will be taken of the Shannon Estuary which links Kerry, Clare and Limerick and which is probably one of the least developed national harbours in the European Union? In making the case for regional funds 20 years ago, the Shannon Estuary was put forward as the ideal location for largescale investment to ensure the creation of employment there. Will the Minister ensure account is taken of the very high unemployment rates in towns like Ennistymon, Scariff and Kilrush in the detailed negotiations on these matters which are of enormous importance to the area and to the survival of the population in an area where the existence of local schools is threatened and post offices are being closed? There is an urgent need for significant Structural Funding to be invested to ensure the population is not wiped out in this unique county.
Mr. McCreevy: It was possible to include counties Clare and Kerry in the proposed new Objective One region because of the matters to which Deputy Daly referred. Not all parts of County Clare are as wealthy as the eastern part of Clare near Limerick. When the totality of the figures was arrived at, the factors mentioned by Deputy Daly kept down the overall wealth of that region. Regarding his question about the area adjacent to the Shannon Estuary, if the proposal to split the country into two regions is approved by EUROSTAT, those parts of counties Clare and Kerry adjacent to the Shannon Estuary would be in the region which would qualify for Objective One status.
Mr. Gilmore: Let me come back to the areas of greatest disadvantage in the country, which are now located in the half of the country the Government considers to be the richer half.
Mr. Gilmore: Not all of them, but about 75 per cent of them, according to the Combat Poverty Agency and the many other agencies that have studied it.
Mr. McCreevy: Would the region the Deputy comes from be in the poorer part?
Mr. Gilmore: There are some very poor areas in my constituency, areas like Ballybrack, Mounttown and Loughlinstown——
Mr. McCreevy: I am talking about where the Deputy was born.
Mr. Gilmore: ——where there is very serious disadvantage. Since the Minister could not give me an assurance earlier that the various schemes and projects which are under way in those areas to tackle poverty and disadvantage will be continued, how many of those schemes and projects [1492] will be discontinued as a result of the Government's decision to divide the country and create a spurious poorer half and a richer half? How many disadvantaged areas will find themselves with schemes and projects to tackle poverty discontinued as a result of the Tarbert Ferry scheme of regionalisation?
Mr. McCreevy: The Deputy seems anxious to knock these schemes. I did not say any of those schemes would be rejected.
Mr. Gilmore: Will they be continued?
Mr. McCreevy: In the context of the next national plan all schemes, current and proposed initiatives will be considered by the Government.
Mr. Gilmore: Will they be continued?
Mr. McCreevy: We have not even got around to developing the national plan. The Deputy should not assume any scheme will be rejected. Neither should he anticipate what will happen. Perhaps we will think up even better, bigger and brighter schemes which will apply not alone to Ballybrack but also to Balindine.
Mr. Gilmore: It is a very simple question. What is the Minister going to do?
Mr. Deenihan: In view of the fact that areas in my neighbouring county, places like Athae, Ballyhahill, the Glen area, Ballygoughlin and so on are very disadvantaged and isolated as are areas of north Cork around Kanturk and Rockchapel and south Cork, is there any case for including parts of those counties in the submission? Is it possible to divide counties?
Mr. McCreevy: It is not possible to subdivide counties as suggested by the Deputy, as I have indicated in reply to previous parliamentary questions.
Mr. McDowell: It was not possible to subdivide regions until a few weeks ago.
Mr. Deenihan: I have just launched my campaign for Europe.
Mr. McDowell: I wondered at the Deputy's concern for Cork.
Mr. McCreevy: I will release some of the Deputy's former playing colleagues who supported me in my constituency to help in his campaign.
