Had three Heralds, only got the coupe left. Fantastic fun but they don't prang well, only car that can fit between a tram and parked cars down most shared roadways with a smaller turning circle than a mini. The island of Malta is said to be full of them. I'm yet to drive a Ferrari that's as enjoyable or one I haven't had to return. The trumpy has a rotary 10a installed. :) Sorry "Triumph Herald" is about as rare as cardboard transmission tunnels and dashboards here, I couldn't resist. Hope I haven't pissed off to many latin speaking prats. ahh finally a sig line. ;) -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
