In the two wheeled department, I have to compliment your
country men for a job well done when they were making
motorcycles.  In my misspent youth I had the chain break
and lock the rear wheel on my BSA at about 90MPH.  Skid
in a straight line, the balance and stability of English
iron was decades ahead of everyone else.....for a while.
Avon tires (tyres) were damn good too.

Seeing as the list seems to be getting a bit PC, I'll refrain
from inquiring about the strange body oscillations that occur 
in the V8 at 140MPH, least I stir the ire of the "enlightened"
ones on the list.
