Hi Andrew: Did you ever think that you may have created a whole new category - LOS, Length of Suffering. What's even more significant is that this is SOL backwards. Does that sum us up? I think that
John, sounds very interesting and very promising, butjust how long have you been keeping this award to youself and not sharing it with the rest of the list ???
Very nicely, yes. Goodness knows I'm no mathematician, but how about reversing the formula somewhat, i.e. subtracting the owner's age at time of purchase from the age of the car at time of purchase.

Hi Andrew: I'll leave the advanced number crunching in your capable hands however I assumed that the age - age thing would always be positive whether you're older or younger than your car. The idea w
Absolutely, Peter. There should also be points awarded if the conception occurred as a result of determined practice under such challenging - not to mention contortionate - conditions. Perhaps the to
It seems to be the time of the year to talk about IMACULATE CONCEPTION, but here I think we are talking about IMPOSSIBLE CONCEPTION! Not to be appempted bu the weak or faint of heart. Joe Curry

Well, I'm 6'4" and once did it in the back of an MG 1100, but never in a Triumph... that park brake handle could do one some damage.... <g> However, my first daughter did come home from the hospital
No Andy, Those who own 12 or more will receive one free visit to the caraholics anonymous meeting nearest them. And one resounding ,"Are you nuts?". There must be some serious masochistic tendencies
