BTW, for the most part it's not the salt water in the ocean that causes them
to rust (well, with the notable exception of the Amphicar <g>). The salt we
put on roads is a far more deadly enemy, and for some odd reason they don't
do that in the UK.

In the 60's and 70's here in Texas, you never wanted to buy a car from the
gulf coast over about 3 years old. I remember looking at a Porsche 356 back
in the late 60's that was recently repainted and was really cheap. I was
smart enough (and young enough) to get down and look under it, and the whole
bottom side looked like Swiss cheese.
