Worked for a car dealership for 10 years in the UK and the Robin was only one step up from a go-cart. Driving one in the snow was a nightmare because the front wheel didn't fit in the snow tracks cut by other cars. You plonker Rodney!

We had a teacher at school who had a reliant. It was school tradition that on the last day of school loads of the lads would pick the car up and stand it on top of a giant flower bed which was around 2 foot high, at the front of the school
I don't know why the silly old bugger didn't just get a lift in to school on the last day of term to avoid it.

It sounds to me like there are two different pronunciations for "Colin" in the US, one that is like Colin Powell and one that resembles the UK pronunciation. With the exception of Powell, I've only heard that name pronounced the UK way. Cindy indicated that her experience is the same.
Folks in New England are weird.

My middle name is Colin and when Americans pronounce it to my ears sounds just like we would pronounce it with the difference maybe that they use a slightly long drawn out O but the spelling of every colin that I have met in the US is spelt with two L's ------ Collin so they pronounce Collin the same way as we would pronounce Collin but they pronounce Colin the way they pronounce Colin Powell,
