at "live forever" 18, ignoring the problem until such time as it, well,
manifested itself in a truly spectacular and possibly (near-)fatal way.
Having part of the rear suspension let go completely "at speed" is likely
NOT to result in a favorable outcome. I know what happens when a swing-axle
Spitfire u-joint blows @ 35 mph, and I also know what happens when a
Spitfire front vertical link shears off in the trunnion @ 10 mph. Those are
pretty much the "limits of the limits" I wish to explore!

I guess that at 27 you were old enough to know better but still too young
to care.
