Ely, sorry about misspelling your name.

Re: electrical systems in UK cars; didn't know much about that Cortina's, except that eventually THAT was what did it in; nobody knew how to work on it and I finally parked it for a long while, then sold it to some sucker. I swore I saw it the other day, but it was an old Datsun, same colour and box-shape.

Ever hear how they came up wiht the name Datsun? NO OFFENSE INTENDED: The Japanese knew the Germans had been successful at naming cars, so they asked for their help. When the Germans asked when they needed suggestions by, the Japanese said, "tomorrow". The Germans replied, "Dat soon?!" and joila!
