even a few seconds whilst driving a car which ceases to function is a few
seconds far too long, man!
fortunately the friend I refer to is an experienced driver and fortunately
managed to not to destroy his car or any other objects/pedestrians in the
way.

actually the car was very well maintained.
I'll take a normally sprung car anytime over one of those BX beasts.
my peugeot 405 turbo diesel has an identical engine/transmision but none of

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."
