Wow, JB!

Why is that? (genuine question)
The roads in our county are notoriously bad - council spends no money on them - so good suspension is paramount to us, but on all the cars, it is as it left the factory. The best one for this has no springs - it uses 4 spheres full of compressed nitrogen - replacement cost £22 each every 3-5 years

No dampers to wear out, either.
