 Yeah, but you Brits have got _weird_ concepts in
transportation.
The Morris Minor for instance never should have been licensed as
an automobile -- a four-wheeled powered bicycle on its best day. 
Eee, lad, y're not up on yer British automotive innovation.  The
four-wheeled powered bicycle was the Berkeley Frisky.  My other fave was
the Ginetta 1600 R, which is what you got when you crossed a Ford Cortina
with a bespoke tapered London suit.  Then there was always, gawdelpus, the
three-wheel Morgan.

 	How about the Austin Seven, in which, if I have been informed correctly,
the oil would migrate up the steering column and drip into one's lap.

 Hey, that subject line really hit me head on, 
so I hereby break the rule not to engage in an off-topic subject.
You see, I subscribe to those two lists: classiccmp(a)u.washington.edu and
suzuki4x4(a)unix.off-road.com
and filter my E-Mail by the headers...... and then suddenly......
the exact displacement of my car engine shows up on the classiccmp list!!
The car in question is a 1981, 785cc, Suzuki LJ-80, it's a kind of a
micro-jeep really
and it has no electronics whatsoever.
Sorry, clearly off-topic but I just could not resist.
