... and I, for one, would tend to agree with them!  The V8 was designed with
the Procon-Ten system which is a passive means of occupant protection,
providing automatic seatbelt tensioning and steering wheel retraction in the
event of a serious frontal impact.  I'll bet that noone has been maimed or
killed by Procon-Ten!

Hmmm, I wonder if the Aussie V8s came with color coordinated airbag-free
steering wheels ... it'd be great to get a grey one for #344 ...
