Hi Mark,

Wish I had a good answer for you.  Mostly I think the traffic moves too fast
down there.  When we lived down there we were doing 75 or stuck in traffic.
Which I might add makes the little cars over heat like crazy, especially when
it is 11o degrees in the shade.  I drive one every where.  But that is in N.
CA. outside of the big cities.

Most times I feel lucky to see another English car on the road with me.  Even
a Jag is welcome all though I don't think they even see me in a Bug-I.

Rick
