    I sold my “it’s in the shop” 09 in 2014 and didn’t buy this 15 RS till last June.
    It seems a lot has changed for better.

    Oh come on Stu!! Even here in Aust we fairly commonly call Oscar Zerkowitz' most renowned invention a zerk - you musta just spent too much time playing with the grease nipples on those little European Cars!!
