Hillman "Pimp"?? Now I _have_ heard everything.
And I thought that the old Car & Driver articles (by Bruce McCall, weren't

Ltd. had great names.
Remember their mainstay? The Denbeighs Super Chauvinist Saloon. Boy, I'd
like to get my hands on a set of those articles. I remember laughing until
I cried.
