Thank you Michael.My first car was a 1931 Essex.My pride and joy but a
terrible thing to drive.Now I have a 1992 Ford Laser a 1.5 liter job
with wishbone suspension copied from some racing cars ??? My point was
that progress has made life easier and safer.Andy Knapp summed it up so
much better.But I have enjoyed and learned a few things from this
thread. Wonderful participation thanks all of you.
Kia Ora Eddie.
P.S. That 1931 Essex is of more value now than my 1992 Ford which drives
so much better....
