Folks, 

FYI, look what I found in the SOL humor listings (http://www.team.net/sol/
humor/faq.html):

Q. My car overheats all the time. My mechanic said the water is moving 
through the radiator too fast to get cooled off. Is this right?

A. Well, although it makes no physical sense whatever, racers and mechanics 
everywhere agree completely that one way to improve the cooling of your car 
is to slow down the flow through the radiator. Many owners swear that this 
has worked for them. British cars, it seems, are so nearly human that they 
succumb to the placebo effect. It is probably worth noting that the owners 
of british cars are nearly human, too.

...honest, I didn't write this...
