    Just press Reply Quote button and it puts the QUOTE /QUOTE tags around the original post.
    If you want to break it up yourself, just remember to match up QUote and /QUOTE at beginning and end of the text you want quoted. Oh and put [ and ] around them - I can't do that here or it woudl treat them as real 2quote tags

    Anyway .....
    Jaguar, Daimler, Rolls-Royce
    or Mini, XK, Berlinette
    in case you want car rather than marque.

    EDIT: Actually, relaised it does beat the Mini by a few years

    The most ground-breaking car ever was the Ford Model T, based on the fact that it was the first mass-production car. Personally, I would rather choose BMW's Hydrogen Powered 7-Series (before it became uglified), as it shows that car manufacturers are working towards a cleaner future when we won't get screwed over fuel prices by the distributors. And you can get fresh water out of the exhaust! Handy if you're caught out in the desert.....

    There are more and more cars being developed to accept hydrogen fuel now, as well as the 7-Series. Ford have got in on the act with 1 or 2 cars- I think 2 (Aussie Falcon and Brit Focus), and Honda have developed something of one kind or another.... not surprising from the dudes who gave us the Insight and Civic IMA! Actually, does anyone know if Toyota has developed smething like this?

    erm, did you read the post ????
    THAT is the precise reason it is now adopted as the "bozzo avatar" by the mods at UCP.
    I'll let you away with going back and either deleting or editing your post so it doesn't look as stupid as it now is and then I'll delete this one
