Perhaps it works in Italian cars in foggy weather. That would be a bigga
mist. Quite shocking.

I heard somewhere that Ford used positive ground because his friend,
Thomas 
Edison, told him to. And Ford trusted Edison's advice, with good reason.

I don't know why Triumph used positive ground, but I do know one thing:
It 
wasn't because positive ground causes electricity to conduct better in
misty 
weather.
