[British-cars] You can't make this stuff up...

[Jeff Young]

Ha!  I wonder if they got the idea from that?

(The "you couldn't make this up" part of it is that it's been around long
enough now that it's become the generic name down under  sort of like Kleenex
for facial tissue in the States, or Hoover for vacuum cleaners this side of
the pond.)

Cheers,
Jeff.
