We had a _bizarre_ discussion in the Plough at Hickling (one of the UK Club's 
regular monthly meets) a couple of months ago.  Two new urq owners were 
complaining that their cars weren't as sporty as they had been led to believe.

We couldn't understand their comments _at_all_, until we suddenly found out 
that one had around 6,000 miles on the clock and the other just over 10,000.

These, BTW, are 1984/5 cars!  This is something you meet every now and then in 
the UK.

Well, the area organiser (John Robinson, 140k) and I (130k) were of one opinion 
 - the fun doesn't even _start_ until around 50,000 miles.  It takes that long 
 to get the thing loosened up.
