Except for Range Rovers and modern Jaguars, British cars are rarely
seen on the road at all these days so I flash regardless of
standing'. On a trip to Vancouver BC last year (500 miles one way),
we only saw 2 British cars (both Triumphs) the whole trip. Locally, in
the last month I have seen 4 British cars and I would have flashed all
of them simply because they were there. Unfortunately, I wasn't in
the Morgan at the time.
