An old British car with metric thread. Even today they don't know what metric is. Do NAPA know where or what Great Britain is? How stupid can you get? Kees Oudesluijs Op 5-11-2011 16:06, Richard Kahn

Why would you expect someone in their 20's or 30's (i.e., people who weren't even born when our LBC's stopped being made) should know anything other than metric? Not so stupid, just a different era.
