About 18 years ago a friend and I embarked on a cycling holiday to Sweden and Norway. On the plane from Heathrow to Stockholm we mused that we might see nothing but Saabs and Volvos for the next 3 weeks, then joked that maybe there would be thousands of Austin Allegros (for the un-initiated see e.g. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/8330/pix.htm). Well, within minutes of cycling from Arlanda airport, we saw one such Austin travelling in the other direction!. Great mirth all round. No idea whether it was driven by a non-conformist or not. We did not get the opportunity to enquire the driver's religeous allegiance. ;-) Adrian
