Well, that=E2=80=99s hardly surprising. It was about as much use as a =
chocolate teapot.

A friend of mine had one from new. It looked great. Then it started to =
rust. Then it was practically dissolving.

The story of cheap Russian steel rings a bell=E2=80=A6.full of =
impurities, or something. I can=E2=80=99t remember. His car was =
worthless after about 3 years. Finished the company in the UK so far as =
I recall.

(We used to expect a little rust here and there =E2=80=93 it=E2=80=99s =
the weather =E2=80=93 but to turn into an oxide puddle is too much).

Interesting that the list is also flawed as no. 1 and no. 6 show the =
