My chemistry professor told me about a car made in South Australia called a
"Zeta". It was a 2stroke car with 4 'forward' gears. There was no 'reverse'
gear because if you turned the key backwards the engine ran in reverse and
you then had 4 reverse gears.
Ive kept an eye on the classified mags, but havent yet seen one as yet.
