If they wore a bonnetie it might not scare the grannies as much  [big grin]

A gallon ???? thats how my grandad used to put petrol in his car...

Measures, spelling, etc - the US do everything different. Must have been a case of a few cheap rulers, a broken set of scales and some tatty stained books during colonization  [big grin]

 

[woodguy7]

Ohhh, this is good  [popcorn]

 

[Ken Nagrod]

We measure everything in rows of bead board.

I think the only solution is to have everyone on the FOG receive a McLaren where the driver sits in the middle, and the passengers behind.  It can also pull a 5,000lb trailer with tools, material, and great for those quick runs when you run out of something.

Problem solved!  [big grin]

I will admit one thing, the British have a great sense of humor about their automobiles.

I once broke my right ankle and had an old Ford with a bench seat. The only solution I could come up with to get to work was to sit in the middle and drive with my left foot. I got a lot of weird looks...

You have to admit though, those Morgans are sweet.  I think they still make the frames out of ash! [scared]  Wonder if they have the new Domino to speed up production [big grin].

I have a 1969 Rover TC2000 siting in storage in DC and storage lease is running out if anyone is interested.  It is left hand drive BTW! but it does say petrol on one of the switches for the reserve tank!  [tongue]

Wait till JMB wakes up and sees what we've done to his thread!  Could this be payback for his off topic stuff?  [off topic] [big grin]

He will - but he'll also have a really strange justification for buying a specific model ... (ie; not the one that tips over when you park it at 45 degrees).
