Manual trannies, Rick. Cannot understand why all cars are not auto, now, or at least semi-auto, as the DS was in 1955.

Cigar lighters in British cars? Is that a carry over from Churchill?

For some reason, they have always been so called. IIRC they appeared first in the early 1930s - I had a 1934 Lanchester with one. I presume you call them 'cigaret(te) lighters'?
They are just a handy power supply, now.
FYI, the gubmint have just said they are going to ban smoking in pubs in England. Republic of Ireland have already done it.
