That's a little disconcerting, considering the effort you're putting 
into a GT6 resto.   They're no bigger, you know, and they have 
94,000,000 miles less headroom...

It does in UK too (although only to annoy the people responsible for 
keeping the trains running).   Get a Herald saloon, then there won't be 
(quite) so much leakage into the passenger compartment.

look me up, and I'll let you play with Ellie, Connie and Carly!
