Mechanical catastrophes.............
Resident T Bird playing Drag Queen www.thenastyhabits.com  "Impülsivê", the new lush fragrance as worn by the unbelievable Fräulein Rômmélle! Traces of black patent leather, Panzer grease, mahogany and model train oil mingle and combust to one sheer sensation ...

You haven't even mentioned Triumph!

That's Jeremy Clarkson. I'm sure he has his own biases but I doubt anyone will ever accuse him of defending British cars, most of which had trouble making it across a parking lot without needing a major overhaul.

Didn't want to pick on our U.K. contingent too much, it's just after the 4th of July......   ;)

Didn't Leyland own Triumph when they built that most amazing of all cars, the Triumph TR7?

I could be wrong here, but IIRC Triumph cars and motorcycles became two different companies before WWII.

i had a 1966 triumph tr4 which introduced me to the original prince of darkness, LUCAS ELECTRIC!

I'll take a Ford Cortina any time. I love those cars. As for the Prius, I think that was the best use of one I've ever seen!

No frills environmentalism the American way!
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...
