Once again, a small comment on British automotive pricing.
A Miata in Britain costs about #15K (i.e. $25.5K). You can't
just do the pounds to dollars conversion and expect the
numbers to mean anything. Besides, they probably aren't going
to sell the bleeding thing here anyway, from what I've heard.
