Speaking of Wedgies, saw a BMH Multi-Media CD ROM advertised as 
featuring over 100 cars including stills, some videos and descriptions, 
for UKP5, seemed too cheap.  Bought one and it is described on the 
case as a 'Multimedia Catalogue'.  "Bit of a cheek" I thought "charging 
a fiver for a shop catalogue", but it isn't.  It seems to be a catalogue 
of cars in the collection.  The pics and videos are quite small, but 
there is the 1972 MGB SSV, a couple of Alpine rallies featuring Healey 
3000 and MGBs, and some TR7 advertising footage showing the car driving 
into wedge-shaped garages.  No sound on my PC but footage of Don Hayter 
describing the desing of the MGB.  How do I know what he was talking 
about?  Ah, I have seen the footage elsewhere *with* sound.

Unfortunately there is only a very simple contents page and no search 
facilities, and it is forbidden to download or print images, but still 
worth a fiver.
