The word "savant" comes from the French verb "savoir" = "to know".
Quote from Miriam-Webster online dictionary:
Definition of savant
1 : a person of learning; especially : one with detailed knowledge in some specialized field (as of science or literature)
2 : a person affected with a developmental disorder (such as autism or mental retardation) who exhibits exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field (such as mathematics or music); especially : autistic savant
He obviously does not fit definition 1 and does not exhibit the "exceptional skill or brilliance in some limited field", the pertinent part of definition 2.
PS, the derivation is from the Latin, sapere - from where comes the savoir thingie comes - I actually stayed awake on both French and Latin classes.

A basic 848cc Mini is capable (barely, but still capable) of getting a speeding ticket on the highway and an Innocenti, even more so therefore a 1400 mile highway trip, with speeding tickets, is entirely feasible.
I used to redline my Innocenti on an almost daily basis on the highway, zooming by all manner of vehicles.

Most here tolerate him because even on their worst days they feel superior to him.
Mostly because they are.
Must stop here or he will get his CIA/FBI/Interpol and Scotland Yard buddies to come to my house.

Read my post again you pinhead, I am talking about selling off the Inno parts. Read everything a few times before you hit the keyboard, ok?
Seriously, this forum is getting exhausting with this moron... I honestly prefer "Specialist."

Would love to add up the value of the Inno stuff and spare engines and subtract from the $6K total. Practically free, I bet, after all the hassle of pulling, selling and shipping everything.

The way S prices are going up the new owner could just store it for a while and it will make money LOL.

With all of the bits that have been swapped over it must have been a bare shell before the Innocenti parts were added. I only hope whoever wins the auction understands what they are bidding on.
