The British collection averages 35.2, with the daily driver's included,
it's 29.6.

My most memorable night sleeping in the Bugeye was the first night I
arrived in San Francisco after touring the U.S. one summer. My car became
disabled after a minor rear end accident in Chinatown. I tried parking
behind some bushes in Golden Gate Park, but was discovered by police after
I nodded off a while. They told me I could sleep in my car at the Ocean
Beach parking lot... so that's what I did... inside a sleeping bag. I was
only 19 years old at the time though!
