Hmmm. Well, I didn't hear back from anyone on this list, and I didn't see any SOL logos out there, so I guess we were woefully underrepresented in Illinois this afternoon. However, many civilians wer

Yes, I've seen one or two, though to be fair, I WAS in Cambridge (U.K.) at the time, so they did not raise too many eyebrows on the street. My initial impression was that the car was proportioned fo

Oh, that's right, the Bulldog is NOT what I saw in Cambridge; that would have been their executive limo-sized 4-door, which I guess they were calling the Lagonda. From what I remember of the Bulldog

Sigh... the reason we British don't honk at everyone else is simply because we have slightly better manners than everyone else. Uncle's Alvis came equipped with two horns: one normal horn for warning

Uh-huh. Now, when two escalators are side-by-side and moving in opposite directions, which one goes up? Viewed from the lower level looking up, I'd be curious to see if it's the one on the left. :-)

Speaking as the lone Alvis representative on this list: Get an Alvis. Pick an early '60's model (the "TF", I think it is), either 5-speed or automatic. You get a big 3-litre in-line six, double SU's,
