"a bit of a lush" Ah, now the English are calling "us" Germans - Lushes. Not that they don't like an occassional beer during work (many company snack bars - including those on US military installions - have bier right next to the sodas (at virtually the same price). Then a Schnapps chaser or a little Cognac. Oh, okay. I thought all the Speedsters were built by Reutter? (Where the"D" model was Draus).
