You've been driving a Triumph for how long and still haven't asked yourself if it wouldn't just be faster to get there on foot? ;^) I'm doing up a presentation related to digital technology and I've

I think more apropos is the fact that in spite the much more efficient superhighway systems and more powerful cars our commute times have been increasing since the 40's. Good luck Dave
