Snigger at the misspelt title

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

There's a Morris Miner listed that may be interesting - I wonder if it's coal-powered?

eBay does depress me a little - it certainly shows that there is a lack of spelling ability out there! Things like hydrolic (hydraulic) and breaks (brakes) are common, but I think that people should be able to read and write well enough to spell the make and model of their vehicle correctly. If not, perhaps they shouldn't be using eBay!

I wonder if the bidders are thinking it comes with an unusual extra ;)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I remember an advert in a local paper that was renowned for it's spilling mistokes with this classic.

For sale Triumph Harold 1200. Must have been owned by a Mrs Wilson.

:? No, sorry, I must have missed something there? That link goes to the bailed remains of what we must assume is a Fiesta.
