        That's "Hydro-elastic", or Hydro-spastic to anyone who has had to
work on one.

        I still have a pump sitting in the back of my tool cabinet from when
I owned an MG1100 and Cooper S.

        An incredible suspension design to give smooth ride in small cars.
I remember following a fellow mini owner who had rubber suspension, watching
his head hit the roof on pot holes that I sailed over.  Not the best for all
out racing, but great for rally or street.
