This is a really fascinating thread. I never knew that late 60s sports cars used 5"

Next let's talks about sports teams that use 5" floppies, then we can talk about
office
jokes that may or may not use 5" floppies, and perhaps the US list members can get
around
to whether democrats or republicans are better for 5" floppies.
Humbug.
Two words:
"Triumph" and "Whitworth"
My ('70? '69?) TC100 had metric, imperial, AND Whitworth parts.
Heh. I've been on a Triumph car kick for years, and it *shouldn't* have
been so bad there - but most cars from the 60s and 70s have been through
several owners by now, and it's usually guaranteed that at least one
owner had done repairs using whatever fixings they had laying around...
