IIRC, I saw _one_ on eBay recently, repeatedly put up for
auction but no takers. IMHO, photos of car that had a real Eastern
Europe look to it.

And you rose to the challenge admirably; you covered every
vessel containing liquid in the the entire car except maybe the washer
bottle (and the sills).

I am only now beginning to believe that there's such a thing as
too much air in vehicle tires (I started out as a bicycle guy). Just
dropped my daily-driver's pressure from 32psi to 30psi and the car rides
better (duh!), feels less 'twitchy' and it sticks about as well as
before. 'Tis hard to get away from rock-hard tires as a badge of honor.
You might want to try every possible (uh, almost) variation until you
find what's right for you. I suspect that you'll discover that what
_feels_ right _is_ right. YMMV... (Probably should drop a few PSI in the
Garage Queen, come to think of it)

Is that a good yardstick? Pretty sure that out utility trailer
with two scoops of topsoil outweighs our Nissan 200SX SE-R tow car's
weight -- but it's only for short distances, and you can really feel the
differnce when trying to use the brakes. I'd think that a fair % of
truly large travel trailers out-weigh even a Suburban, but that is pure
conjecture.

And there are any changes? Didn't notice 'em. :^) Thanks for the
heads-up, you just saved me 34 cents.

(NTC) Forgot about the forks. IIRC, the Lambert's bottom-bracket
bearings fail, and are an oddball design that interchanges with no known
replacement parts. Don't recall the other difficulties. Hang on to that
bike, I betcha it's one of few left. Didn't think of bringing bike to
car shows, but when I go to British cars shows I have bikes from about
every country _except_ the UK! :^)
