*My, what a mess of MINIs in that picture. They must be popular down under.
*It's because they are so light the reduced gravitational field in Australia/New Zealand can hold them down onto the roads.* Otherwise they'd fall up like all the bigger cars down there.
*That must be why one of the popular cars down under is a GM Holdem.
Sold in the US as a Chevrolet, (or is that Pontiac?), model I gather, and thought to be quite large, even by US standards.* Actually jokes aside re the gravity issue, I must confess what did confuse me when we were in the northern hemishere for the first time last year, was the fact the sun rose and set east to west ok, but to the south.* I was forever imaginign I was travelling north, when it was actually to the south.* I guess I was just subliminally picking up on the angle of inclination of the sun, but without consciously correcting for it being to the south.
Oh, and PS, that ship is not in Australia, so all those Minis did not come here - I just posted it because it was the same type I was referring to.
