I've just spent the last ten minutes chortling away at Cherik's notable stories - they're stories of humour and misadventure gleaned from the 7 mailing list.- I particularly like the one about the guy whose wife says, "But when I step on it [the accelerator], the car is suddenly someplace else."  Head on over for a laugh.

While you are there, have a look at some of Cherik's other stuff - he has a comparison between the Crossflow and Zetec engines which is quite interesting and also details of a conversion from a Crossflow to a Zetec.
