This is also the type 89 salute- last week I amazed the girl in the Fiat
Uno next to me in the traffic jam to work by constantly hitting the dash in
order to get the speedometer and the odo working again. Probably (at least
judging by the amount of ventilation holes in the metalwork of her '93) the
only aspect in which the Uno is more reliable than my 271k km 1987 Audi 80...

PS When my speedo is working properly, I'll be careful not to return the salute.
