"The product is being manufactured by Sloof Lirpa, a German engineering company." (http://letitriff.com/?p=338)  :mrgreen:

It might have almost been believable if they hadn't mentioned the price. Way too low for Henry.

Sloof Lirpa is the same engineering firm that designed Rob's rare Gibson G4.

April 2nd here now... safe and sound... only fun today for me was a flat tyre on the motorway (freeway/autobahn) with no escape road and having to abandon the car on the main carriageway until recovered... :o

Some years ago the Washington Post reported that a rare Loof Lirpa had escaped from the National Zoo and had been seen galloping (or was it fling?) around the city.
