That's funny Mattias.  Brings to mind when our former President
JFK proclaimed to the German people by accident that he was a "jelly donut".

I'm sure Steve knows it was a 59.  He's well versed on American cars of that 
era.
I think he just hit the 4 instead of the 5.

Thank you Steve...

But I think Charlie is right.

Disclaimer no Americans under the age of 21 is allowed  to read below this
line.

Now when we made certain to draw attention I can only excuse any explicit
language but I think it is necessary and the majority will be in swedish.

Yes, I remember reading that about the Farmalls now. My Boxer is a Volvo BM
350 Boxer. Bolinder Munktell was bought by Volvo in 1950 after some years
of cooperation and there are both red (Volvo BM) and green (BM Volvo)
machinery that are basically the same. I have no Idea but I believe that a
swedish farmer with a BH would have been mocked, since a BH is what keeps
the titties in place. Kind of like when Honda began distributing commercial
material for the Honda Fitta "Small on the outside, big on the inside".
This costed Honde several million euros when they had to draw back all the
commercial when they found out that fitta in Swedish means cunt which is a
wellknown fact in the Nordic countries. All the motorjournalists wrote a
lot of funny stuff about testdriving the new fitta. No I won't make any
quotations I believe you have imagination enough, if not take any car
magazine and change the words.

An interesting llink.
