Harry, You're right, of course, I should not have replied to Mr. Racine's comments in anger, or I should have replied directly to him. And I shouldn't assume that he's like the people of Quebec that

I wouldn't remove the head. Use a long flexible magnet (like the telescoping ones on the counter at most auto parts stores) and fish around for it thoroughly in each cylinder. If you come up with no

Philip, I have to disagree about your public image comments, even if my evidence is only anecdotal; most people hearing the words "Rover" will say "What?" or say "Oh, like a Range Rover" while think
