A minnow is a very small bait fish, but the TV boat was actually named for Newton Minow,[1][2] who Gilligan's Island executive producer Sherwood Schwartz believed "ruined television". Minow was chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1961, and is noted for a speech in which he called American television "a vast wasteland".

Aerodynamics.............UK
Citroën
Aerodynamics








Quote:
The aerodynamicist, for his part, has to check the results found with the first few shapes made up, and to suggest possible improvements to the stylist. The entire effectiveness of their collaboration takes form in their definition of an ambitious aerodynamic performance project and in their aptitude to achieve it in a seductive form.

This mode of collaboration between stylist and technician has been and remains characteristic of the genesis of Citroën models.
An extensive website................you have been warned.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
