Dunno. far as I know they are after-market fitment on this Honda accord
2.3 my mate has.

BMW seem to fit them on the new minis I understand, which begs the
question, are new mini owners more likely to drive over nails than
owners of other vehicles?


Wouldn't you want to put caltrops in the way of my Mini owner.

Mind you a little red number parked next to me at S/market today and out
popped a dinky little brown number. Kerala I'd say.

Sigh. If I were 30 years younger...

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper

logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
