Garry,
What ever you do, do not mention the word Midget or Sprite!
Must be about time for another 'towing thread'..........

Garry,
Welcome to the list.
If you really want to score points here, use the word 'thread' as often as
you can. Also they
really love to talk about Triumphs, and especially the 'superior'
engineering of Japanese built
cars.
Oh yeah, cats cats cats, which type do you prefer for applying wax??
Have fun ;->
