Where I live I often see an Alvis TA 14 “woodie,” the owner’s sole car. It has no catalytic converter and “economy” is not a word you associate with its fuel consumption. It is enough to bring tears to the eyes of an eco-warrior, but the owner is a distinguished...

June 2007 Backwards Sam Dear Sirs, No, No! For all his acumen, Sam Posey misses the fatal flaw (hamartia) in the Sdrawkcab Kcor Emil races.
