The CAR ist an invention from the GERMAN Carl Benz in 1884. John Ford build his cars since 1896 - twelve years later! By the way: The Greek inventet democracy, the Chinese fireworks and the Russians satellites. Tststs...typical american megalomania! Greetings from Good Old Germany: Christoph Lieber John, In Deinem Buch, auf Seite 127, schreibst Du, das das Auto eine Erfindung der US-Amerikaner sei und ebenso Demokratie, Feuerwerk und Satelliten. Das AUTO ist eine Erfindung des DEUTSCHEN Carl Benz von 1884. John Ford baute seine Autos seit 1896 - zwölf Jahre später! Und nebenbei: Die Griechen erfanden die Demokratie, die Chinesen das Feuerwerk und die Russen die Satelliten. Tststs...typisch amerikanischer Größenwahn!
